Stuffed Tex Mex Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an offset smoker for cooking at 250 degrees F and add some pieces of mesquite.
• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Reserve 12 slices to use for building burgers. Crumble remaining bacon for burger filling.
• Combine cheese, chiles and crumbled bacon in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Use your hands to press out and form eight to twelve 4-ounce patties from the beef, approximately 4 1/2 to 5 inches in diameter. Place patties on a work surface. Layer 3 ounces filling in the center of a patty, then layer a second patty on top of filling and first patty. Use your fingers to press the edges of the 2 patties together, being thorough in sealing the patties with no holes along the edges. Repeat with remaining patties and filling.
• Sprinkle each side of the patties with dry rub, salt and pepper. Place patties in smoker and cook 30 minutes, then flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a patty registers 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 15 to 30 minutes more. Let patties rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium saute pan over low heat until onions are caramelized, soft and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Put tomatoes in a pan, drizzle with 4 to 6 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle each side with dry rub. Cover with foil and smoke in offset smoker for 1 hour.
• Melt butter in a large saute pan or comal over medium-high heat. Place burger buns cut-side down in pan and cook until golden and toasted. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into the same pan used for bread. Place smoked burger patties into pan and sear each side, 2 minutes per side. (You may also use this same pan to warm up cooled smoked tomatoes, if needed.)
• Build burgers: Place patties on the buns and top with smoked tomatoes and caramelized onions.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground sirloin, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce using your hands. Divide into 4 balls, and flatten into patties.
• Lightly oil the grilling surface, and place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until well done. During the last 2 minutes, lay a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Spread the seasoned mayonnaise onto the insides of the buns. Put burgers in the buns, and top with lettuce and tomato to serve.

Steps:

• Mix mince with the onion, cayenne pepper and oregano. Season well, shape into 4 patties and chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook burgers for 15 mins or until done to your liking, flipping over halfway through.

• Preheat grill to medium-high (350° to 400°). Combine ground chuck, onion, and salt; shape into 12 (4-inch) patties. Fold cheese slices into quarters; top 6 patties with folded cheese slice. Cover cheese with remaining 6 patties; pressing to seal edges.
• Grill patties, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat 5 minutes on each side or until done. For grown-up servings, serve burgers on buns with 2 tablespoons guacamole, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture, and desired toppings. For plain servings, serve burgers on buns without the guacamole and mayonnaise mixture.

Steps:

• In large skillet, brown ground beef over medium to medium-high heat. Drain off fat.

• Burritos: Warm flour tortillas in microwave or in oven. Spread meat and bean mixture on each flour tortilla. Garnish with preferred toppings. Enjoy.
• Tacos: Toast taco shells in oven according to package directions. (Note: toasting the taco shells is a MUST). Spoon meat and bean mixture into each taco shell. Garnish with preferred toppings.
• Taco-burgers: Toast hamburger buns in oven until light golden brown. Spread meat and bean mixture onto bottom half of buns. If making taco-burgers, you may want to substitute sliced cheese (such as American). Garnish with preferred toppings.

Steps:

• Halve, pit and peel avocado.
• Mash ¼ of avocado with a fork; add mayonnaise, lemon juice, hot sauce and salt to taste; mash with back of fork until smooth.
• Stir in tomato, chipotle, scallion, cilantro, and remaining avocado, cut into ¼ inch cubes and fold together gently but thoroughly. Cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Mix chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt into beef. Handling beef as little as possible, divide it into quarters; shape each quarter into a patty.
• Heat a well-seasoned, ridged, cast-iron pan over moderately-high heat (or grill on bbq) until hot and cook the hamburgers 5 ½ minutes per side for rare.
• Top with cheese slices and cook, covered, for 1 minute, to melt cheese.
