Mexican Chili-Cheese Burgers

Ole!


If this burger could talk that's what it would say.

But it can't.  Because I cooked it up all Mexican style for Cinco de Mayo and you know something?  I have no regrets.  It was good.  Not just good, I mean REALLY good.  Like, "why didn't I ever think of this before?" good.

I like my ground meat to be well done.

Not this well done though
I'm sorry.  I apologize but I had to do it.

  5. Ole indeed! I like the guacamole addition very much! Maybe next time put that well done fact at the beginning of your post... I'm not as hungry when that's the last thing I see. Not attractive...
