Chicken Cheddar and Guacamole Burgers

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Chicken Cheddar and Guacamole Burgers). Looks and tastes great. With the price of beef nowadays I needed a healthier and a little cheaper way to get my burger fix. You could use ground turkey instead of chicken, I would think. And toasting the buns adds another layer of flavor.
