In a small bowl, combine the red onion with the lime juice and a tiny pinch of the salt. Set aside to quick-pickle while you cook.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and taco seasoning. Gently mix by hand until just combined. Shape into two equal patties, about a half-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more without pressing down, until deeply browned. Done when opaque in the center and no pink remains, 160°F.
While the beef cooks, place half the avocado in a bowl and mash with a fork and a pinch of salt until smooth. Slice the remaining avocado.
Spread the mashed avocado onto the warm patties. Place the shredded romaine on a plate and top with the sliced tomato and remaining salt. Arrange the patties over the lettuce, top with the pickled onions and remaining avocado slices, and serve with lime wedges.
