Combine ground beef, a portion of the onions, bread crumbs, pepperjack cheese, and eggs in a bowl; shape into 12 patties
2
Combine tomatoes, a portion of the remaining onion, cilantro, half of the serrano chile pepper, and a smaller amount of lime juice; mix thoroughly to create pico de gallo. Store in the refrigerator and keep chilled

Mash avocados, a portion of the remaining onions, the remaining serrano chile pepper, and the remaining lime juice together in a bowl to make guacamole. Add salt and pepper for flavor
