To make the Avocado Mayo: Peel and pit avocado. Mash avocado and combine with mayonnaise, juice of lime, and 1/2 c of cilantro. Mix until all ingredients are combined. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or pre-heat gas grill to medium-high.

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Place burgers on the rack and cover. Grill until brown on bottom about 5-6 minutes. Turn the burgers and continue grilling until done to preference about 5 minutes for medium. During the last few minutes of cooking, top each burger with a slice of cheese, and place the buns cut side down on the outer edge of the rack to toast lightly.
To assemble the burgers, place a generous amount of the avocado mayo on the cut side of the bun. Place your burger on top, place another generous amount of avocado mayo. Add the bun tops and serve.
