Method:

1. Combine avocado, tomato, 1 Tbs. of the Worcestershire sauce, oil, lemon juice, parsley flakes, and 1/4 tsp. of onion salt.

2. Mix remaining 2 or 3 Tbs. Worcestershire and 1 tsp. of onion salt with the ground beef; form into 12 thin patties.

3. * Place a spoonful of drained avocado mixture in center of 6 patties; top with remaining 6 patties and press edges together with a fork to seal.

4. Grill over hot coals for about 10 minutes, turning once. Brush with liquid drained from avocado mixture while grilling.

5. Slit outer edge of pita bread halfway around and insert burger.

* Hint: To easily form thin patties of uniform size, place a large square piece of plastic wrap over the inside of a plastic 1-lb. coffee can lid. Press enough ground beef into the lid to completely fill it, packing firmly. Carefully lift out the plastic wrap and place formed patty on a platter. Repeat process for each patty.
