- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
- Lightly coat a large frying pan with oil and set over medium heat. Add beef and garlic, then sprinkle with seasonings. Cook until no longer pink, 5 to 6 min, using a fork to break up meat occasionally. Meanwhile, prepare pepper and stir in.
- Pour in pasta sauce. Taste, and if it is not sweet enough, add sugar. Stir in Worcestershire and Tabasco. Simmer, uncovered and stirring often, until mixture begins to thicken, about 2 min. Place half of a bun on each plate. Top with meat mixture, then grated cheese and avocado slices. Leftover sauce will keep well, covered and refrigerated, for at least 1 day.
