Tumbleweed Burger
This was my first burger making experience, and what a tasty one!
This juicy patty is seasoned with cheesy taco seasoning and cilantro before being broiled to perfection. Toppings include romaine, tomato, fried onions, chili, muenster cheese, avocado slices, and tangy, spicy mayonnaise. The burgers were served on buttery, toasted whole wheat buns and were a true Tex-Mex treat.

Tumbleweed Burger
Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking (spicy mayonnaise adapted from White on Rice Couple)
Yields: 6 burgers
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds ground beef
4-6 tablespoons taco seasoning (I use McCormick's Cheesy Taco and highly recommend it)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
6 slices muenster cheese
hamburger buns
butter for toasting buns
Spicy Mayonnaise Ingredients:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha (chile sauce)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
fresh cilantro to taste
Burger toppings:
fried onion rings, if desired
hot dog chili (I used Texas Pete brand, warmed in the microwave)
tomato, avocado, romaine lettuce, chopped green onions
Directions:
Mix ground beef, taco seasoning, and cilantro and form into 6 patties (handling as little as possible, so you don't toughen the meat). Broil for around 9 minutes until checking for doneness by splitting one of the thickest patties in half and examining the meat. You want them to be slightly pink in the middle (see how to tell if a burger is done). Place muenster cheese on each patty to melt when you pull them out of the oven.
While broiling, melt butter in a skillet and toast buns (alternatively, brush melted butter onto buns and broil them to toast, keeping a close watch so as not to burn them).
Assemble the burger: Mix spicy mayonnaise ingredients together. Spread generously onto toasted bun, topping with cooked burger, fried onion rings, avocado slices, tomato slice, a leaf of romaine lettuce. Enjoy!
To see why the fried onions in this photo may be a little, um, misleading; see more burger deliciousness; and read about the buns I used, please head over to Willow Bird Baking!
