Santa Fe Burger

Southwest at its best

Not a California burger with guac and all the prissy stuff, this meaty whole hearted burger has the bold flavors of the New Mexico territory. This burger will be a real hit.

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80 percent lean)

1 cup of 4 cheese - Mexican style
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, if desired
4 tomato slices
lettuce if desired
4 hamburger buns split

In a medium bowl, combine all of the ground beef, 3/4 cup cheese, 1/4 cup salsa, tortilla chips, green onions, cumin, chili powder, cayenne (if desired) and garlic salt. Mix lightly, but thoroughly. Shape into 4 patties 1/2 inch thick.

Fire up your grill to a medium-hot temperature.

Grill patties 5 minutes on each side or until internal temp reaches 150°. Note: Keep in mind that the meat will continue to cook for a short while after being removed from the grill.

Lightly toast hamburger buns. Place burgers on buns; top with remaining 1/4 cup salsa; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese serve with lettuce and tomato.
