Ingredients:

• 1 lb. package refrigerated whole wheat pizza dough
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 tsp. ancho chili powder
• 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and mashed
• 1 cup baby arugula, loosely packed

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
2. To make slider buns, divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll into balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Flatten to 2-inches across. Bake for 16 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, place oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
4. Place ground beef, chili powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Use your hands to incorporate spices into the meat. Divide mixture into 10 equal pieces. Form into thin patties, about 3-inches across.
5. Return large skillet to medium high heat. Add patties and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until meat is cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
6. Slice buns in half. Place arugula, onions, burger patties and avocado on bun bottoms. Place bun tops on top and serve immediately.
