Dish 11 - Grilled Salsa Burgers

Grilled Salsa Burgers

Prep Time: 30min; Total: 30min; Makes: 6

Ingredients:

1.5 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
3/4 cup shredded hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese (I used Colby as we don't have jack cheese in Aust)
6 burger buns, split, toasted
6 tomato slices
6 avocado slices
6 Tbsp sour cream

Method:

1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, mix beef, salsa and bread crumbs. Shape mixture into 12 (4-inch) patties, 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle rounded tablespoon cheese in centre of 6 patties, spreading slightly. Top with remaining patties; press edges together firmly to seal.
2. Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 11-13 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in centre of patties reads 160oF.
3. Place burgers on bottom halves of buns. Top each with tomato and avocado slice and 1 tablespoon sour cream. If desired, top with additional salsa. Cover with top halves of buns.
