Cilantro: Organic cilantro has antioxidants and can help lower inflammation in your body. Not to mention, it's a key ingredient for Mexican inspired dishes.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl add the ground pork, ground chicken, and taco seasoning. Mix the meat together completely to incorporate the spice mix and so the meat is evenly mixed. Place the bowl in the fridge, until ready to form burgers.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion and add to a large skillet with the ghee. Put over medium/high heat and cook until onions are slightly browned and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and lightly salt the onions to our liking. Set aside.
Step 3
Chop lettuce into thin slices and place in bowls. Slice avocado and cut limes into wedges. Set aside.
Step 4
Remove the meat from the fridge and form the burgers four 4-ounce patties that are about 5-inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat grill to high, place the burgers on the grill and cook, flipping half way though, until internal temperature of 165°F. Depending on what kind of grill you have, it may take longer, propane, gas, open grill – there is a lot of variables here so make sure you don’t leave burgers unattended. (Or alternatively, you can cook burgers in a large skillet over medium/high heat, add the burgers. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until internal temperature is 165°F).
Step 6
Place the burgers on top of the lettuce, add grilled onions, avocado, and cilantro on top. Serve with salsa verde and a wedge of lime.
