We love burgers and have them every Saturday in summer. We also have a favorite burrito recipe. One day, we got the bright idea to combine two of our favorite recipe. Voila! Our Southwestern Burgers were created. Tammy Fortney Deer Park, Washington Ingredients:
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies |
4 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 pounds lean ground beef |
3/4 pound bulk pork sausage |
8 slices monterey jack cheese |
8 hamburger buns, split, toasted |
8 lettuce leaves |
1 large tomato, sliced |
1 to 2 ripe avocados, peeled and sliced |
mayonnaise or mustard, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Crumble beef and sausage over mixture; mix well. Shape into eight patties.
2. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Top each burger with a cheese slice.
3. Grill 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese begins to melt. Serve on buns with the lettuce, tomato, avocado and mayonnaise or mustard if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
