• 2 green tomatoes, diced
• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 1 red jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 4 ears of corn, husked and halved
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 4 sesame hamburger buns
• 1/2 cup prepared guacamole

To Make:

1. Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the salsa: Combine the tomatoes, lime juice, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 2 minutes, then stir in the cilantro, red onion and jalapeno; set aside.

2. Toss the corn with the vegetable oil in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Form the beef into four 1-inch-thick patties; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until marked and tender, about8 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the burgers about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Toast the buns on the grill.

3. Sandwich the burgers on the buns with the guacamole and salsa. Serve with the corn.
