Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until coated in oil.

Add sliced mushrooms (optional) and sliced tomatoes to the skillet.

Season the vegetables with salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red chili, mixing well.

Move the vegetables to the side of the skillet to make space for the burger.

Place the frozen store-bought veggie burger in the skillet and cook on medium heat.

Stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent burning and allow them to release moisture.

After a couple of minutes, flip the veggie burger to cook the other side.

If the vegetables are burning, pile them on top of the burger to prevent direct contact with the pan.

Flip the burger again and place a slice of cheese on top to melt.

Assemble the burger on a lightly toasted hamburger bun with spicy mayonnaise and add avocado if desired.
