    I started with Homemade Hamburger Buns, but bakery buns work great as well. I used my super easy Restaurant-Style Blender Salsa, but Pico de Gallo or store bought salsa will work too. I will keep explaining as we go. 🙂

    How to make Tex-Mex Burgers

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salsa, and cumin together.....

    Divide into equal four portions, and form into patties.

    Cook burgers over medium-high heat for 4 minutes, flip and continue to cook until barely any pink remains.....

    Top each burger patty with cheese, cover with a lid and cook until the cheese has melted.....

    Mash the avocados with lime juice, salt and pepper. Set aside. {or use Guacamole}

    Serve the Tex-Mex Burgers on toasted buns with lettuce and topped with the mashed avocado and additional salsa.....

    Oh my goodness these Tex-Mex Burgers are delicious!!

    Notes:

    • To make your burgers spicier: Use Pepper Jack Cheese. Use spicy salsa. Add cayenne powder with the cumin.
    • The salsa will add moisture to your finished burgers, so make sure your salsa is on the "dry" side. I scooped it out with a fork and let it drip for a bit to get as little liquid as possible.
    • I used grated Monterrey Jack cheese because that was what I had on hand. Grated or sliced both work great.
    • Do not forget the napkins!
