Love this burger. It is so easy! I have made it 3 times now. For the toppings, we melt a small amount of mexican cheese blend on top, put some guacamole, and believe it or not, a little bit of mayo. Everyone in the family agreed that those toppings (which we didn't do the first time made it a tasty burger!

These were easy, inexpensive, and delicious! Even my "meat and potatoes" boyfriend thought they were delicious! I used dried cilantro and panko bread crumbs because I had them on hand, and my burgers turned out wonderfully! I also added a little cumin, a slice of colby-jack cheese to the bun, and pan cooked the burgers. The consistency was a little difficult to work with (they didn't want to stick together at first, but I will try refrigerating before making patties next time as someone suggested. Definitely a "keeper" recipe!

This recipe's easiness/cheapness is fantastic. The burgers tasted delicious as well. I will definitely make this again, and I am excited to do the enchiladas this afternoon....Im sure those will be yummy as well! The consistency of the burgers was a tad annoying, they tend to want to crumble and break. But other than that they are quick, easy, and delicious!
