Ingredients

2 ground beef patties (4-oz.)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp kosher salt
2 fresh sliced pineapple rounds 1/2-inch thick
2 thick-sliced red onion rounds 1/4-inch thick
2 handfuls O Organics baby spinach
oil of choice to brush grill

Avocado Salsa:

1 jalapeño
1/2 cup diced red and yellow cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup diced avocado ripe

Instructions

Heat grill to medium-high and lightly brush with oil.
Sprinkle burgers with paprika and salt (both sides), rubbing in all over. Place on grill, along with pineapple rounds, red onion rounds and jalapeño. Grill burgers, pineapple and onion 4-5 minutes' on each side, to desired doneness. Check pineapple— it is done when it is juicy and has good grill marks.
Grill jalapeño 4 minutes total, flipping halfway through cooking time. Remove jalapeño from grill and let cool. Discard the ribs and seeds. Dice the rest, and add it to a bowl with diced tomatoes and avocado. Sprinkle with salt and toss salsa.
Remove pineapple from grill. Top each pineapple round with a small handful of spinach. Add red onion on top of the spinach and then the burger. Scoop avocado salsa and pile on top of the two pineapple burger stacks. Serve immediately.
