- Mix all ingredients for Tex Mex Rub in a small bowl. Set aside.
- For garlic mayonnaise squeeze one bulb of roasted garlic pressing against side of bowl. Add mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix well. Refrigerate mixture until ready to serve burgers.
- Mix together all guacamole ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place second bulb of roasted garlic in a large bowl and mash with a fork against the side of the bowl. Add ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; mix with hands until just combined.
- Gently form six patties approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Coat patties with dry rub. Preheat grill to high. Grill burger for approximately 1 minute on each side. Reduce grill temperature to medium and continue cooking burgers for 4-5 minutes more per side.
- Toast buns at edge of grill. Spread garlic mayonnaise on half of each bun and top with lettuce, burger, guacamole and tomato slice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- To roast garlic peel loose skin off the garlic bulbs, cut off the bottom of head so garlic is exposed. Place on foil and drizzle with 1 tsp. olive oil. Wrap each head with foil and place in a small baking dish. Roast in the oven for 35-55 minutes at 400 degrees until cloves are golden in color. Cool for 10-15 minutes then gently squeeze each clove out of skin.
