Kinda Sorta Tex Mex Burger

"I threw these together tonight when getting in the mood for ZWT5. When I think 'Texas' I often think of good BBQ and beef. When I think of Mexico I tend to think of a bit of heat and fresh tomatoes and avocado. So, I threw them together to make one yummy burger. So, it may not be real tex mex but it comes out of the ideas of Texas and Mexico that float around in my,admittedly odd, brain."

  1. I can hardly wait for lunch when I can have leftovers from last nights BBQ - these were a huge hit! I loved the avocado mixture and made the burgers just as directed with tomatoes and red onions. I'll be making these burgers again! Made for ZWT5.
     
  2. Love this burger, which we made for ZWT. I added about 1 t of lime juice to the avocado along with some garlic salt and a couple of splashes of Tabasco to make it more of a guacamole otherwise as listed.
     
  3. As made these were awesome. I did make a couple of changes. For the meat did not do the egg/breadcrumb thing but did everything else. I also added the tomatoes and onion to the avacado along with cilantro. And as I do on all burgers, added a slice of cheese. Loved the combination of barbeque sauce and guacamole. For ZWT.
     
  4. This was a tasty burger, I had to make some changes - granualted onion instead of flakes, less cayene (DH can't have much), I ran out of eggs so used less panko. On my burger I had chipolte aioli and a little cilantro, we skipped the avocado - not a fan on burgers. Thanks Sarah for sharing your recipe, made for ZWT5 for the Cooks With Dirty Faces

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008. I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters. I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment. I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily. These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it. These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated: <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
