Nacho Burgers
June 23, 2013
The guys are hanging out, testing the guac, playing some cards, and having some beers.
Meanwhile, I am cooking the burgers.
After they cook on the first side, flip them and load them up with the chips and cheese.
Make sure you close the lid to get everything all melty and delicious.
Meanwhile, get the guac and salsa on the buns.
When I said melty and delicious earlier, this is what I was talking about. Got it???

It was the first day of summer, and I couldn't think of a better way to ring it in.
Gahhhhhhh. The buns on these could have been bigger. Or I guess the burgers could have been smaller? You know, if that's your thing or whatever.
Is this what you guys have been missing?
Nacho Burgers
- Ground Beef
- Taco Seasoning (preferably homemade)
- Guac
- Salsa
- Buns
- Tortilla Chips
- Pepperjack Cheese
Instructions
- For these burgers, make your patties like normal, then lightly dust them with a taco seasoning, preferably homemade (you know, like some cumin, chiles, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper, stuff like that). Make some guac (I have a recipe here) and maybe salsa if you're feeling ambitious, but I just used store bought that day. Gather your buns, chips and some pepperjack cheese. Use the huge chips so that they are the same size as the burgers. Go ahead and get the burgers on a nice hot grill and let them cook on the first half. Brown up the buns while this is happening. Flip the burgers and immediately top with cheese, followed by a chip, then cheese and repeat until there is 3 chips on there and they are all loaded with cheese (It's a bit of a balancing act). Close the lid of the grill and turn it down a bit just to let the burger finish cooking and the cheese melt. While the burger finishes, spread a light amount of salsa on the bottom bun, and really load on tons of guac onto the top one. Serve the burgers hot to some anxious and hopefully slightly intoxicated friends.
