Beefy Mexican tacos and fajitas are always great, so why not burgers? Chopped jalapenos in the patties add a nice kick, but the real key is the cilantro-cayenne mayo that you'll start using on all sorts of sandwiches.

ingredients

1 1/2 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
6 hamburger buns
lettuce leaves
tomato slices
avocado slices

directions

Preheat an outdoor grill or stove-top griddle.

Combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, coriander, and cilantro in a bowl. Mix until just combined (do not overwork the meat).

Form the meat mixture into patties. Grill or cook on the griddle for 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

While the burgers are cooking, combine the mayonnaise, cayenne and cilantro. Spread the spicy mayo mixture on the cut sides of the buns.

Serve the burgers on the buns along with lettuce, tomato, and avocado as desired.
