Mexican Burger

Mexican food is full of bold, delicious flavors, and since I love burgers so much, I decided to bring the two together in this Mexican burger recipe.

This burger turned out amazing! It has an incredibly juicy beef patty, melty cheese, creamy guacamole, and a soft, delicious burger bun. YUM!

Mexican Burger

My family and I really enjoyed these Mexican-style burger for lunch; they are loaded with Mexican flavors and super easy to make.

My secret to the best burgers is simple: season the beef patties well and cook them just until they are juicy, tender, and full of flavor — never dry!

In this recipe, I used store-bought fresh guacamole to keep things easy, but you can also use homemade guacamole if you prefer.

You'll Need

• Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
• Ground beef: I use ground beef with (80% lean, 20% fat). The fat in the meat creates that juicy texture that you want your burger to have.
• Garlic: It adds flavor to the burger patties.
• Seasonings: I seasoned the ground beef with salt, black pepper and paprika, cinnamon, ground cumin and ground coriander.
• Cheddar cheese: I prefer mature cheddar cheese.
• Hamburger buns: I use regular white buns.
• Lettuce: It adds crunch to your burger.
• Guacamole: Adds great flavor and gives the burger its distinct Mexican taste. You can use store-bought or homemade guacamole. Optional, I add a ½ Jalapeño to my store-bought guacamole for a spicy flavor.

How to Make Mexican Burger - Step By Step Photos

One: Mix the ground beef with breadcrumbs, garlic, egg, and all the seasonings in a large bowl until combined and form the mixture into burger patties.

Tip: To keep the patties from breaking, you may let them chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.

Two: Heat the oil in a large frying pan on medium heat and cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side.

Three: When you flip the burger to the other side, put a slice of cheese on the patty and let it melt while the patty is cooking (DON'T overcook).

Four: Cut the buns open and add lettuce, a burger patty topped with cheese and, finally, a teaspoon of guacamole and serve!

Pro Tips

• Use ground beef that has some fat: For juicy beef patties, use ground beef that has some fat (I use 80% lean/20% fat).
• Use high quality cheese: For the best flavor I use cheddar cheese because it melts fast and pairs well with burgers. Cotija and Pepper Jack are also a good choice.
• Cook the patties on a hot pan: For a better texture and to prevent them from sticking.
• Don't overcook your burger patties: Overcooking will make them dry and not juicy as we want them. However, the time may vary based on the thickness. For medium-sized patties cooked on medium heat, it took me 4-5 minutes on each side.
