Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 cup Enchilada sauce
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 8 Tomato slices
- 8 Red onion slices
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, enchilada sauce, panko breadcrumbs, shredded Mexican cheese blend, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the burger patties into the pan.
Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juiciness.
While the burgers cook, prepare the toppings. Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or stovetop for extra flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked enchilada burger patty. Top with tomato slices, red onion slices, sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Pair with tortilla chips, salsa, or a side salad for a full meal.
