Description

These Mexican inspired burgers are fresh, juicy, and perfect for summer barbecues! Spicy pepper jack cheese, cool pico de gallo, and creamy guacamole elevate this burger to the next level!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 3 Tablespoons Diced Green Chilies
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 4 whole Hamburger Buns
  • Lettuce, Guacamole, And Salsa, To Assemble Burgers

Preparation

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, mix together ground beef, chilies, and cheese until well combined (using your hands works best). Divide meat into 4 to 6 mounds and flatten each mound with your hands to create a patty. Grease grill or grill pan with olive oil and cook burgers to desired doneness.

Add a piece of pepper jack cheese to each burger and allow cheese to melt on the burger by closing grill or by placing a lid over the grill pan (the steam helps the cheese melt quickly).

Place each burger on a bun and top with a lettuce leaf, guacamole, and fresh tomato salsa.
