Shape into 8 burgers, each about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in centre of each. Place burgers on grill.
Barbecue with lid closed until burgers are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Delicious tucked into warm buns or pitas and topped with our Great Guacamole Sauce and slices of tomato, onion and lettuce.
