These Southwestern Spiced Burgers bring a flavorful twist to your classic hamburger, combining bold spices and fresh ingredients for a delightful meal.
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the burgers tender.
Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick.
Use your hands to gently shape the patties without compacting them too much.
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the surface is hot to achieve a good sear on the patties.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked.
Press lightly on the patties to check for firmness, indicating doneness.
Serve the patties on buns with your favorite toppings.
Consider adding lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of salsa for extra flavor.
