Prep
Sweet potatoes - (If prepping right before cooking, get grill / oven heating before continuing with prep.) Slice into fries. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Chipotles / Shallots / Cilantro (for burgers and guacamole) - Prep as directed. Combine chipotles and cilantro for burgers in one container. Combine shallots and cilantro for guacamole in another container. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Make burger patties - Mix together beef, aminos, salt, pepper, chipotles, and cilantro (portion for burgers). Form into 1” / 2.5 cm thick patties and make a depression in the center with your thumb (this will help the patties to retain an even thickness as they cook). (Can be done 1 day ahead)
Make guacamole - Mash together avocados, shallots, cilantro (portion for guacamole), and lime juice. Season with some salt. Add some hot sauce (not on ingredients list) if you’d like it to be spicy.
