Guadalajara Burgers


This is the best burger I’ve ever had turn out consistently fabulous.




Burgers

1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt (substitute with sea salt, or I guess you could use
table salt, it will change the taste)
1 pound ground round (hamburger - I like the 15% fat...
1 can Cooking Spray (No, you’re not going to use the whole
thing)
(optional) 4 Kaiser rolls (Don’t use regular buns, this is a ‘fancy’
burger, why spoil it!)
13/4 cups Tequila-spiked Salsa
Tequila-Spiked Salsa

2 cups chopped seeded tomato (or tomatoe if you’re Dan Quayle :) )
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped peeled avocado (do you ever eat avocado skin?)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (substitute old rotten juice if necessary)
2 tsps Tequila (actually I’ve never had this with tequila, if you leave
it out, the burgers will still rock)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 garlic cloves minced (but don’t mince your fingers, this isn’t minced
meat burgers)


Preparation & Cooking to follow............

Burgersc.Prepare grill, Combine chili powder, salt, and beef. Divide the mixture into four equal portions, chaping each portion into a 1/2 thick patty.

Place patties onto the grill rack coated with cooking spray - then keep an eye on them flipping them when needed.
Grill/toast rolls if you have them, but donft burn them, please! Once all the burgers and rolls are eperfectf add the Tequila-Spiked salsa to the tops of the burgers (after theyfre on the rolls) and eat them while theyfre hot.


Join Guadalaja Burgers Annonymous, cause these bad-boys are addictive.

Salsac..Um, mix all the ingredients together in no particular order.

NOTE: If youfre feeling prepared try making the salsa one day in advance, this will let the flavors of the salsa mix and make for a VERY tasty treat when you eat the burgers. But donft let the salsa sit for too long in the fridge (4-5 days is too long, usually) because the avocado is pretty sensitive to time.

Sounds fab, LC!!

Lindachicken,
These sound awesome. By chipotle chili powder do you mean ground chipotle powder or is there a chili powder that contains chipotle in addition to the cumin, garlic, etc. in regular chili powder?

how spicy are they

I’m not a very good person to ask about spicy…..I’d say they have some authority, the last time I said that Linda (cllw) thought she needed to call the fire department to put our the fire on her lips! *grin*
