How to Make Firecracker Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground beef with 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa.
- Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Place 2-3 jalapeños (or more, to taste!) in the center of each patty. If using breaded jalapeños, adjust the number accordingly.
- Carefully wrap the beef around the jalapeños, forming a ball.
- Reshape the balls into patties approximately 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers, covered, for 7-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- While the burgers grill, lightly toast your buns. Spread a generous amount of guacamole on the toasted top bun.
- On each bottom bun, layer lettuce, a Firecracker burger, your favorite burger dip, sliced tomatoes, olives, and thinly sliced onions.
- Top with the guacamole-spread bun.
