directions

1. For Pico: Combine all vegetables. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and stir. For best taste, allow to chill for an hour.
2. For burgers: Mix all ingredients together except for salt and pepper, and form into six medium patties. Sprinkle freshly ground pepper and salt on both sides, to taste. Grill on medium high for about ten minutes, flipping once. Juice should run clear. For a fresh new take, serve burger bun-less with the pico. Or, serve on bun with monteray jack cheese and pico. Great with grilled pineapple and rice.
3. NOTE: make sure the jalepenos are completely seeded, and that the white inner ribs have been removed.

I'm not including stars with my review as I didn't make the complete recipe as written- only the burgers, but these got 5 stars from us! The lime I had was very juicy so we only used half and this was plenty. We topped our burgers with guacamole which went really well with the zesty fresh flavour of the burgers. We were also planning to grill these outdoors but got hit with rain so used a George Foreman grill and they held together just fine with some careful flipping!
