Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef grass-fed
  • 1 packet or 1 tablespoon Sazon Goya
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 3 or more Tomatillos sliced
  • Red Onion slices
  • Cilantro garnish for inside of burger
  • 7 oz Red Enchilada Sauce brand of choice
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil or other oil for frying burgers
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil or Butter for sautéing veggies

For the bun sauce

  • 3 tbsp Enchilada Sauce reserved from cooked burgers
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard for bun sauce
  • 1 tbsp juice Squeeze from half a Lime
  • Salt and Pepper sprinkle
  • Jalapeño Cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Heat up oil in a medium skillet.

  2. Season burgers with Sazon Goya spice packet (which is about 1 tablespoon) garlic, salt and pepper.

  3. Gently work in by hand 2 tablespoons of the olives into the ground beef. Make an indentation in the center of the patty to help prevent the meat from shrinking to much. However, grass-fed beef tends to shrink more than other beef that have not been grass-fed.

  4. Fry the burgers on medium heat until almost but not completely done. Set aside and allow the burgers to drain on paper towels.

  5. Remove the oil from the pan and add the enchilada sauce. Allow it to warm up before returning the burgers back to the pan. Once hot, add burgers back into the skillet and cook for only 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  6. In a small, pan add 1/2 tbsp of oil or butter.

  7. Sauté the sliced tomatillos and red onions in oil or butter for only a couple minutes just to warm and to allow onions to slightly tenderize.

To assemble

  1. Place some of the pan sauce in a small bowl. Stir in a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, a squeeze of half of a lime (optional) and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

  2. Spread a teaspoon of sauce on both halves of bun.

  3. Place Jalapeño cheese slice on upper bun half.

  4. Add stuffed burger to upper bun half on top of the cheese slice.

  5. Top the lower half of bun with the sautéed tomatillo, onions and cilantro.

  6. Close up and join the two burger halves and enjoy!
