Remove from grill and put patties on grill. Grill 4 min. first side and 3 min. for 2nd side, putting Asadero cheese slices on for last minute of cooking. Meanwhile, chop onion and jalepenos (discarding stems and seeds). Put in bowl with lime juice, add tomatoes and mix well. Slice avocados in half and make 6 slices in each half.
