SECOND PLACE BURGER RECIPE - Joel and Kirsten - Killer Tortilla Burger
Ingredients:
½ lb. Limousin ground beef
½ package taco seasoning
Boston leaf lettuce
Red Onion
Guacamole - 1 avacado, 3 tbsp. salsa, 1 large clove garlic (minced), 1tsp. sea salt
Salsa – store bought or homemade (finely diced tomato and ¼ red onion along with 1 tbsp. lime juice, 1 tbsp. dried cilantro, pinch crushed red pepper, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp. sea salt)
Pepperjack Cheese
Flour tortilla (10 or 12 inch size)
Directions:
Blend taco seasoning into ground beef and form into a half circle burger patty. Grill until medium to medium well. Place pepperjack cheese on one half of the tortilla and grill on non-cheese side until the cheese is melted. Place grilled burger on cheese side then top with lettuce, red onion, guacamole, and salsa. Fold tortilla over to make a half circle. ENJOY!
Story:
We enjoy Mexican food A LOT and were getting sick of the typical, on a bun, ketchup and mayo burgers, so we decided to experiment and came up the Tortilla Burger. It's fun to make our own guacamole and salsa, but the store-bought stuff tastes fine too. It's simple, quick, gives us the satisfaction of eating a burger, and at the same time satisfies our hunger for Mexican food.
