Tex Mex Burgers with Guacamole
March 18, 2011
My favorite ethnic food by far, is Mexican. The cheese, the jalapenos, the mariachis... its pretty amazing. So, of course, the idea of a burger inspired by some of my fav Mexican flavors sounded like a great match. The guacamole added to the burger gives it a clean, fresh taste and is a perfect balance to the spiciness and heat of the burger.

These burgers go great with a side of grilled corn. Check out our recipe on grilling corn to get the low down. If you want to spice things up use some chili powder and lime instead of salt.
