2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped thin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
16-20 tortilla chips
2-3 fresh jalapenos, sliced



Recipe



First, make the pico de gallo. Combine all of the ingredients for the
pico in a small bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and chill in the
refrigerator.

Guacamole: In a small bowl, smash up most of the avocado, but be sure
to leave several chunks. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator.

Chili Queso: Place beef and ingredients in sa small skillet. Brown
the beef over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula
to crumble the beef as it cooks. Cook until brown, then set aside.

Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat. When
milk and cheese are combined, add the remaining queso ingredients.
Heat while stirring often, until cheese is smooth and creamy, then
cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.

Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly
butter the face of each bun and brown buns, face-down on the heat.

Separate the ground beef into four 1/2 lb. portions. Roll each
portion of meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into a
circular patty slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns.
Cook the hamburger patties for 5-10 minutes per side, until done.
Lightly salt and pepper each burger patty.

Build the burger open-faced in the following order starting with the
bottom bun. Layer the following on the bottom bun half:

1/2 cup shredded lettuce
hamburger patty
2 tablespoons chili queso
4 or 5 crumbled tortilla chips
2 teaspoons green onion

On Top Bun half, layer:
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pico de gallo
2 tablespoons guacamole
4 jalapeno slices

Serve burger with extra queso and guacamole. May also serve french
fries on the side and use the chili queso for dipping.
