Bake the bacon. My favorite way to do this is baking it. Check out this post for instructions, Perfectly Baked Bacon: https://marlameridith.com/how-to-bake-bacon-recipe/

Combine beef with chili powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Make 4 patties, put a thumbprint in the center of each so they don't puff up when they cook.

Heat a splash of oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Place the burgers in the pan and cook about 4 minutes on each side or until done to your liking.

In the same pan, toast the buns with a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
Guacamole: mash the avocado with a fork, add the lemon juice & mash again. Gently fold in the tomato and red onion. Season with salt, pepper & garlic powder.
Pico de gallo: combine the tomatoes with red onion, cilantro, lemon juice. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Chipotle Mayo: combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
Assemble: Slather some chipotle mayo on both sides of the bun. Top with burger, guacamole, Pico, lettuce & bacon.
