These are savory, spicy burgers that are made even tastier with spicy mayo, avocado slices, a fried egg and pico de gallo. Add cheese if you like, or maybe even bacon. I'm sure these would taste great if cooked on a grill, but I pan-fry them. Ingredients:
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon mexican oregano |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 garlic cloves, peeled |
1 serrano pepper, stem removed |
1/2 onion |
1 lb lean ground beef |
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped |
1/2 cup mayonnaise (i use the light kind- works great) |
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce (i like cholula in this) |
1 teaspoon lime juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil (if pan-frying) |
1 tablespoon butter |
4 eggs |
4 hamburger buns, sliced |
1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced |
pico de gallo |
Directions:
1. Put the first 10 ingredients (cumin through onion) in a food processor and puree. Add half of the ground beef, and pulse to combine everything well.
2. Put the rest of the ground beef and one tablespoon of cilantro in a large bowl. Add the beef-spice mixture and stir to combine well. Form this mixture into four burger patties.
3. Mix the remaining cilantro with mayo, hot sauce, and lime juice. Add salt & pepper if desired- I usually don't. Set aside.
4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties, flipping once, for about 12-15 minutes, or until desired doneness.
5. Just before the meat is done, melt butter in a separate pan, then crack the eggs into it and cook until whites are firm and yolks are runny, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Spread the mayo on both inner sides of the buns, then place down avocado slices, meat, fried egg, and pico de gallo. Serve!
