Maya's Mayan-Spiced Chicken Burgers

2 pounds ground chicken
1 tablespoon (a palmful) ground cumin
1 tablespoon (a palmful) chili powder
2 tablespoons (a mounded palmful) grill seasoning, such as Montreal Steak Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped (eyeball it)
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil), for drizzling
2 ripe Hass avocados
1 clove garlic, minced then mashed into paste with 1 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 small white or red onion, finely chopped
1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
3 plum tomatoes, 1 seeded and finely chopped, 2 thinly sliced
Bibb or butter lettuce leaves
4 rolls split, reserve or lightly toast then reserve
A bag of blue and yellow corn tortilla chips

Five Vegetable Slaw Salad:
1 pound sack shredded cabbage
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin slices
4 scallions, sliced thinly on an angle (greens and whites)
Juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup (3 healthy drizzles) honey
3 tablespoons vegetable or light-colored oil
Salt and pepper

* Place ground chicken in bowl and add cumin, chili powder, grill seasoning, ground cinnamon, parsley and cilantro.
* Add a drizzle of EVOO and mix to combine.
* Score the meat in 4 equal parts then form 4 patties about 1 1/2-inches thick.
* Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with EVOO and add the burgers. Cook about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked all the way through -- there shouldn't be any pink in the middle.
* Once the burgers are cooked, transfer them to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm while you make the guacamole.
* In a medium-size bowl, mash the avocado. Add the garlic paste, lemon juice, onion, jalapeño and finely chopped tomato.
* For the slaw, combine vegetables in a serving bowl. In another small bowl, combine lime juice and honey. While whisking, drizzle in EVOO in a slow and steady stream. Pour dressing over slaw and season with salt and pepper to taste.
* Transfer burgers to the toasted bun bottoms and top with sliced tomatoes, lettuce and a rounded tablespoonful of guacamole. Serve Mayan burgers with Five Vegetable Slaw Salad and tortilla chips alongside. YUM-O!
