It’s time for some #HotSummerEats!
For me, summertime is all about grilling, so I’m
declaring this week burger week! Each
day this week, you’ll find some delicious burgers on the blog, complete with a
complementary side salad, as well as some drink suggestions!
Let’s get started!
The first burger up is a fantastic Tex Mex Burger. It’s loaded with BBQ flavors and
guacamole. It absolutely screams summer! Try adding a refreshing Strawberry Margarita for adults or a Cucumber Melon Refresher for the kids for a bright summery punch.
Here’s a bit about each of the #HotSummerEats sponsors
I’ve used in today’s recipe.
Spicely Organic BBQ Seasoning
Spicely Organics provides 100% pure, organic
spices. The BBQ seasoning and smokey and
delicious. It’s perfect as a dry rub or
in marinades.
Gourmet Garden Herbs
Okay, I am in love with Gourmet Garden Herb
Pastes! They are the perfect solution to
having garden fresh herbs when herbs are out of season (or super expensive at
the grocery store!)
Pirate Jonny’s Guava Girl Grilling Sauce
The sauce has a delightful punch of guava, and when
combined with the rest of the ingredients, tastes like a beautiful sweet BBQ sauce. It’s the perfect burger or salad topping and
also works as a delicious pork chop marinade.
T.lish Chipotle Vinaigrette
I used chipotle vinaigrette to dress my salad (it was
perfectly balanced and not to spicy) but it would also be amazing as a steak
marinade (in fact, that’s my Father’s Day plan!)
Tex Mex Burger
Burger
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
Salt & pepper
1 tbsp BBQ seasoning (such as Spicely Organic BBQ
Seasoning)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or Gourmet Garden Herb Paste)
½ tsp oregano (or Gourmet Garden Herb Paste)
1 tbsp cilantro (or Gourmet Garden Lightly Dried Herbs)
Toppings
Sweet BBQ sauce (such as Pirate Jonny’s Guava Girl)
Cheddar cheese
Corn
Jalapeños
Butter (optional)
Salad
Romaine Lettuce, chopped
Corn
Tortilla chips, crushed
Lime wedge
Chipotle Vinaigrette (such as T.lish)
Preheat the grill or frying pan.
Place the burger ingredients in a large bowl, using
your hands to mix until combined.
Divide the meat mixture in ¼ lb patties, using your
thumb to create a slight indent in the center to ensure even cooking.
While the burgers cook, lightly butter the split sides
of the buns and toast over a hot skillet.
Set aside.
Toss the romaine with Chipotle Viniagrette. Top with corn and crushed tortilla chips.
To build the burgers, spread 2-3 tablespoons of
guacamole over the bottom bun. Top with
a burger, cheddar, sweet BBQ, corn, and jalapeños and serve.
