Mexican BBQ Burger

Ingredients

  • 125 g /4.5oz beef mince
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon + 1 olive oil separated
  • ½ medium-sized onion
  • ¼ small red pepper
  • ¼ small green pepper
  • ¼ cup sweet corn
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
  • optional toppings: burger buns Mexican cheese, fried onions

Instructions

  • Place the beef mince into a medium-sized bowl. Mix in the breadcrumbs and egg until all the ingredients are well-combined. Set to one side
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over a medium heat in a frying pan and finely chop the onion, red pepper, green pepper, jalapeño and garlic.
  • When the oil is hot, add all the ingredients you just chopped up (along with the sweetcorn) into the pan and sautee for 10-15 minutes, until all the ingredients are soft.
  • When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, tip them into the bowl with the beef mince and mix well.
  • Pour in the BBQ sauce and taco seasoning and stir again until everything is completely mixed together and all the ingredients are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  • Pour another teaspoon of olive oil into a large frying pan and heat over a medium heat.
  • Divide the beef mixture into two different sections and form each section into a burger shape. If the mixture is too damp to work with, add 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs at a time until you can form patties with the mixture.
  • Cook the burgers in the frying pan for around 10 minutes on each side, or until crispy on the outside and cooked to your liking on the inside - I always serve my homemade burgers well-done.
  • When the burgers are cooked to your liking, serve them up on a hamburger bun and top with Mexican cheese, fried onions and whatever else you'd like.
