Mexican Burgers Recipe
We recently tired of our usual cheeseburgers and decided to try something a little different–Mexican Burgers. We made our burgers flavorful, but not too spicy, but of course you can adjust the recipe to suit your tastes!
A flavorful twist on burgers from The Peaceful Mom!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons dried onions
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- Toppings: Cheddar or Monterrey Jack Cheese, red onion slices, salsa
Instructions
- In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute.
- Add diced red pepper to skillet and saute for two minutes until the pepper is just starting to soften.
- Add minced garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes more, stirring often so that the garlic does not burn.
- Allow pepper and garlic mixture to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, cooled pepper and garlic mixture, dried onions and spices.
- Mix well.
- Grill or broil burgers.
- Top with cheese, onion slice and salsa according to taste.
Notes
If you need to make these quickly, substitute 1 small can of green chilis and 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic for the sauteed pepper and garlic mixture. To make these gluten free, simply use a gluten free bun or serve burgers without a bun.
