I love anything Mexican, and I really love burgers too… I wanted to make Mexican burgers to enjoy with my family for dinner!
To add the Mexican vibe, I spiced the beef well with a blend of spices and topped with creamy guacamole and cheese. YUM!
Mexican Burgers
I just made Indian Burgers 2 days ago, and they were AMAZING; my family really enjoyed them for lunch. And this Mexican burger recipe is even better; it is loaded with Mexican flavors and easy to make.
Let me tell you, the secret to the best burgers is to season the beef patties well and cook them until they are juicy and tender, NOT dry!
I like to use lettuce for a fresh, green crunch. I also used store-bought fresh guacamole to save time.
You'll Need
Complete information on ingredients and quantities is in the recipe card at the end of the post.
Ground beef: I use 15% fat ground beef. Make use of meat that has a good ratio of lean ground beef to fat. The fat in the meat creates that juicy texture that you want your burger to have.
Tip: In my opinion, the best ratio of meat to fat in a burger patty is 85/15 ratio. 85% lean meat, 15% fat.
Garlic: It adds flavor to the burger patties.
Breadcrumbs: It improves the patty's texture.
Egg: They help bind together the ground beef and breadcrumbs, so you’ll be able to form them into 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: A burger will not be a burger without hamburger buns. I use regular white buns.
Lettuce: It Adds crunch and color to your burger.
Guacamole: Adds great flavor and give’s the burger its distinct Mexican taste. You can use store-bought or homemade Guacamole.
How to Make Mexican Cheeseburger - Step By Step
One: Mix the ground meat with breadcrumbs, garlic, egg, and all the seasonings (coriander, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and pepper) 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/grilling.
Two: Heat the oil in a large frying pan on medium heat and fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
Tip: Refrain from flattening your burger by pressing hard on it when cooking. This will make the juices flow out of the meat.
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.
Tip: Make sure that you do not undercook or overcook your meat. A one-inch burger patty took me approximately four minutes per side to cook on medium heat.
Four: Cut the buns open and add lettuce, a burger patty topped with cheese and, finally, a teaspoon of guacamole and serve!
