Spicy Chicken Burgers with Bacon and Guacamole

There's nothing I love more in the spring/summer months than a burger right off the grill. Well, that's a lie. I also love margaritas. And eating dinner outdoors. And the pool. Picnics are cool, too. And the beach. Okay, I guess I love some things more than burgers off the grill, but it's still pretty high up there.

These particular burgers are made with chicken and are packed with traditional Mexican flavors, like onions, cilantro, jalapeño, cumin and paprika. Top these bad boys with some spicy Mexican blend cheese, guacamole and bacon and it's pure bliss in your mouth. Enjoy!
