This was one of the burgers featured in 'Emerils Best Burger Ever Challenge' on GMA. I have made it several times and my family loves it. Its like eating a taco on a bun. I have 'lightned it up' to fit into my families healther eating habits but it is even better in the full fat version. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chuck or 1 lb lean ground beef |
1 cup crushed corn tortilla chips (baked or fried) |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 egg whites or 1 whole egg |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon cumin |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
4 whole wheat hamburger buns or 4 bakery buns |
jalopeno mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeno |
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1/2 cup light mayonnaise |
shredded cheddar cheese |
one large avocado, sliced |
shredded lettuce |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 10 ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix with hands until combined. Shape beef mixture into four round patties. Cook over medium heat on grill for 5 minutes per side or for longer if desired.
2. For the Jalopeno Mayo.
3. Combine the pickled jalopeno, cilantro, minced garlic in a small bowl. Cover and chill to ready to use.
4. To assemble burgers, spread the mayo on the buns (buns can be toasted if desired). Add patties and top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and avocado slices add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if desired.
