Mexican style beef burger

I really don’t like plain beef patties in burgers. One of my favourite flavour is Mexican seasoning so I regularly make yummychipotle burgers. But this time I didn’t have any chipotle paste so I made up this spiced, Mexican-style beef burger using cupboard ingredients. I served it with grilled veggies (courgette & red bell pepper) and a quick tomato & chilli salsa in a gluten-free bun, but tortilla wrap, flatbread, taco would be just as suitable. If I had avocado, I would have made some guacamole for topping.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g good quality beef mince
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika or half cayenne
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground peppercorn
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 spring onions finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander leaves

Method
 

  1. Put all ingredients in a large mixing bowl then combine. If you want your burgers to be really spicy, add cayenne, chilli flakes or finely chopped Jalapeno.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 equal portions then shape patties between your palms. Put these on a plate, then chill until you’re ready to cook.
  3. Heat your BBQ/grill or griddle pan.
  4. Cook the burgers for 3-5 minutes on each side, depending on how well-cooked you like your beef.
  5. Meanwhile prepare your buns or flatbread and condiments of your choice.
  6. When the patties are ready, assemble the burgers and serve immediately.
