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

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!
