AUDREY'S SALSA BURGERS

Steps:

• In medium mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salsa and bread crumbs.
• Mix well and shape into 12 hamburger patties.
• No bigger than 4 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
• On 6 patties, sprinkle cheese on top of each patty.
• Place the remaining patties on top of the cheese covered patties to form a hamburger.
• Seal ends together by pressing the ends shut.
• Place on grill.
• Grill each side for 11 to 15 minutes or until your liking.
• Place cooked hamburger on bun topped with tomato, avocado, salsa and 1 Tablespoon sour cream.
• When doubling recipe, I found I needed to add more bread crumbs so the meat was the right consistency for a hamburger.

ZESTY SALSA BURGERS

Steps:

• Spray grate of outdoor grill with grilling spray. Preheat grill to medium heat according to manufacturer's directions. Meanwhile, set aside 1/3 cup drained tomatoes. Mix together beef, remaining drained tomatoes, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Shape into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Grill patties 10 minutes or until cooked through (160°F), turning once. Top each patty with 1 slice cheese; melt slightly.
• Place patties on bottom halves of buns. Top each patty with 3 or 4 avocado slices and a generous tablespoon of reserved tomatoes. Close with tops of buns. Serve immediately.

SALSA BURGERS - CLEAN EATING

Steps:

• Place oven rack 6 to 7 inches from broiler and preheat to high. Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with foil. In a large bowl, combine beef, pico de gallo, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Shape mixture into 4 equal patties, each 1/2-inch thick, and place on prepared baking sheet. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes or until burgers are browned. Flip and repeat on second side until burgers are firm to the touch and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 more minutes (internal temperature should read 160°F on a instant-read thermometer).
• Place avocado in a small bowl and mash to a chunky consistency with a fork or potato masher. Add red pepper, cilantro, lime juice, garlic powder, pinch of salt and pepper, to taste; stir to combine.
• To serve, spread 2 tbs yogurt on bottom half of each bun and top with 1 to 2 lettuce leaves, if desired. Then add patty and 3 tlbs avocado mixture to each before finishing with top halves of buns. Garnish burgers with additional cilantro, if desired.

• Right before they're cooked, top each burger with a slice of Swiss Cheese.
• Serve on toasted hamburger buns with mayonnaise, mustard and dill pickle.
