1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled (or another salty, crumbly cheese)
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 avocado
1 lime
Instructions
Combine meat with chili powder and form it into 8 small (2″ diameter) patties. Sprinkle outsides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Put greens, carrots, radishes, and cheese in a large bowl and chill.
To toaste seeds: place in a dry skillet over medium heat and shake frequently for 3-5 minutes until puffed and toasted. Set aside.
Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add mini-burgers (may need to oil the skillet if you’re using a lean grind.) Cook 2 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
Toss salad with lime juice, crumbled cheese, and distribute among 4 plates.
Top each with avocado slices, toasted pepitas, and 2 sliders.
