SOUTH OF THE BORDER BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide the hamburger into 4 equal portions and make two patties from each portion (if using Italian buns make the patties oblong to fit the bun) On 4 of the 8 patties put a tbsp of refied beans, sprinkle on some jalapeno pepper and a tbsp of onions, salt& pepper Place the second pattie on top and firmly seal.
• Really pat them so they won't fall apart while cooking.
• If BBQing I recommend that you use a stir fry pan or use a solid grill to cook them in/on to ensure they do not end up as the fuel for the BBQ.
• These burgers are delicate because there is no filler in them.
• Or pan fry When the burgers are cooked on one side (apprx 6 minutes) flip and.
