Fajita Burger with Peppers, Onions and Guacamole
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely minced cilantro
- 4 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced, yellow or purple
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 red or orange bell pepper, sliced into strips
- Guacamole, such as Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole
- Hamburger Buns
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with salsa, Worcestershire, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Using your hands, mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions (using a kitchen scale helps). Form patties into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside. (This can also be done ahead and burgers can be refrigerated uncooked for a few hours, just bring to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking.)
- Meanwhile, prepare the onions and peppers by heating a medium saute or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add the peppers and onions and let cook until they begin to brown, then stir every minute or so. Cook for total 5-7 minutes, or until desired tenderness is reached.
- Prepare the grill or grill pan by heating to high heat. Cook the burgers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Melt sliced pepper jack cheese on top of each burger.
- Serve burgers on toasted buns with guacamole and the cooked pepper and onion mixture.
