How to Make Southwest Cheeseburgers
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of 4 frozen or fresh (1/4 lb each) beef patties.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-well, or to your desired doneness.
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, place 4 slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) on top of each patty to melt.
- While the burgers grill, prepare the salsa mayo: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa. Mix well.
- Lightly toast 4 hamburger buns (optional).
- Spread the salsa mayo generously on the bottom halves of the buns.
- Top each burger with lettuce leaves (about 1 cup), several slices of avocado (about 1/2 avocado per burger), and the top bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Southwest Cheeseburger fiesta!
