Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 small onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
4 wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 slices pepperjack cheese
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup chopped jalapeno pepper
1/2 cup salsa, or to taste

Preparation

Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
Mix the ground chicken, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and egg together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken mixture evenly and form into 4 soft patties.
Cook the chicken patties on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. To serve, place each patty on one half of a hamburger bun, top with a slice of cheese, avocado slices, and desired amounts of jalapeno peppers and salsa. Cover with remaining half of bun.
