Notes

  • Start with lean ground beef, not extra lean.
  • Avoid adding chunky pieces of garlic or onions or herbs to favor the meat because you’ll have to over work it to blend everything in.
  • Go for a dry spice mix to sprinkle lightly over the meat and shape gently into patties.
  • Cook the burgers on a stove top skillet and watch carefully not to over cook.
  • Add the cheese and to off the heat right away. Covering the pan for just one minute will help the cheese melt.
  • When layering the burger sandwich, add salsa at the bottom with the mayo.
  • When the hot burger is placed over the salsa It ill start to absorb it right away adding extra juicy-ness to the juicy burger.
  • Add more salsa and guacamole over the burger for extra juicy feel in your mouth from the buttery avocados and juicy salsa.
  • Serve right away!
  • It’s best to make and serve this juicy burger the day of.
  • To make in advance, prepare the fajita toppings, ok the burgers and assemble the burger just when serving. 
  • ENJOY!
