Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Burger Patty Mixture:

    • 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 theyโ€™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 jalapeรฑos 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.
