Tex-Mex Burgers

List of Ingredients




1 lb. ground chuck
1 jalapeño chili pepper, seeded and minced
1 cup Spicy Tomato Salsa (recipe follows)
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 soft corn tortillas
1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
1/3 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese



Recipe



Preheat a broiler or charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, mix together the ground beef, jalapeño, 1/4 cup of the salsa, and salt and pepper in a large bowl, until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Form into 4 patties, a little flatter and greater in diameter than a usual burger shape. Broil on grill, flipping once, until cooked through -- about 4 minutes on each side.


Place tortillas in microwave, two at a time, and cook on HIGH for about 20 seconds.


Arrange each burger on a warm tortilla and top with the avocado slices, shredded cheese and additional salsa. Alternatively, wrap each burger and the toppings in a tortilla like a burrito. Serve with additional salsa on the side, and with red beans and rice, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.



SPICY TOMATO SALSA

12 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1 Tbsp seeded and minced jalapeño chili pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients in a small glass bowl. The salsa may be used immediately for the burgers, but chill it for at least an hour if serving it as a dip.
