Mix ground beef with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Form the mixture into patties of desired thickness.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the patties on the grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.

Toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Spread tahini sauce on the bottom half of each bun.

Place lettuce and tomato slices on top of the sauce.

Add the cooked burger patty on top of the vegetables.

Top with pickles and drizzle with pomegranate molasses.
