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

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.

* In a medium-size bowl, mash the avocado. Add the garlic paste, lemon juice, onion, jalapeño and finely chopped tomato.
