Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ lb ground beef, 80/20
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 seeded bun, halved
¼ cup Pace® Salsa Con Queso
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
2 tablespoons green chile, chopped, canned
1 tablespoon tomato, chopped
4 tortilla chips

Steps:

Shape the ground beef into a round patty about 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick. Season both sides with the salt and pepper.
Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patty and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired temperature. Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Wipe out the pan.
While the burger rests, toast the burger buns cut side down in the pan for 1 minute, or until golden brown.
Heat Pace® Salsa Con Queso according to package instructions. Stir before using.
To assemble the burger, place the patty on the bottom bun and pour the hot Pace® Salsa Con Queso over top. Sprinkle with the green onions, green chiles, and tomato. Stack the tortilla chips on top, then finish with the top bun.
Enjoy!

Nacho Burger image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons pureed canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
8 slices Monterey Jack cheese, each 1/4 inch thick
4 hamburger buns, split; toasted (see page 15), if desired
Avocado Relish (page 34)
4 Pickled Jalapeños (page 115), thinly sliced
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled blue corn tortilla chips

Steps:

To make the salsa, stir together the vinegar, oil, and chipotle puree in a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro and mix to combine; season with salt. The salsa can be made 4 hours in advance, covered, and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.
Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
Cook the burgers, using the canola oil (see page 16) and topping each one with 2 slices of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking (see page 21).
Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top each burger with some of the avocado relish, some tomato-chipotle salsa, and then pickled jalapeños and blue corn chips. Cover with the burger tops and serve immediately.
