Tips for Mexican Burgers
When it comes to making the best Mexican burgers, there are a few tips you should follow.
- Use fresh ground beef and shape into patties that are not too thick and not too thin.
- Don’t press down on your burgers while cooking. This will cause them to become dry and tough instead of juicy and tender.
- Let your cooked burgers rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute throughout the burger patty.
- Enjoy these Mexican burgers with chips and salsa or pico de gallo for the ultimate Mexican night.
- Store the spicy guacamole in the fridge for up to 3 days. To prevent browning, press a layer of plastic wrap onto the surface of the guacamole in the airtight container. You can also add some lime or lemon juice directly onto the top surface of your guacamole before covering for storage.
