   • In a mixing bowl, combine the canned green chilies, chopped onions, ground beef, and a pinch of salt.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. Shape the Patties:

   • Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions.
   • Form each portion into a round patty, approximately 5 inches in diameter.

3. Add Cheese Filling:

   • Cut the shredded sharp American cheese slices in half.
   • Place half a slice of cheese on the center of each beef patty.

4. Seal and Shape:

   • Carefully fold the beef patty over the cheese, sealing it inside to form a semi-circle shape.
   • Ensure the cheese is completely enclosed within the patty.

5. Cook the Burgers:

   • Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium heat.
   • Place the stuffed beef patties onto the grill or pan.
   • Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on one side until golden brown and slightly charred.
   • Flip the patties and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until fully cooked through.

6. Warm Tortillas:

   • While the burgers are cooking, warm the flour tortillas either on the grill or in a separate pan until they are soft and pliable.

7. Assemble the Burrito Burgers:

   • Place each cooked burger patty onto a warmed tortilla.
   • Top with fresh lettuce leaves, chopped tomatoes, salsa, and additional green chilies according to your preference.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the Burrito Burgers immediately while they’re still warm and the cheese is gooey.
   • Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite, savoring the delicious combination of beef, cheese, and vibrant Mexican-inspired toppings.

Tips:

• Customize your Burrito Burgers by adding other favorite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, or jalapeños for an extra kick.
• For a lighter option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
• Make a vegetarian version by substituting the ground beef with plant-based meat alternatives and omitting the cheese or using a vegan cheese alternative.
• Serve alongside Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
