Enchilada Burger
Howdy folks! Now, y’all know how much I love a good burger. AND how much I love a steaming hot plate of enchiladas. I got to thinking, what if I took all of the goodness of enchiladas and put them between a bun with a burger? That is how enchilada burger was born.

Enchilada Burger Meat Mixture
Whenever you’re making a hamburger, use 80/20 ground beef. This beef is 20% fat, which is ground and mixed throughout the burger, giving it a superior flavor.
For the enchilada burger, I want you to mix some red enchilada sauce right into the hamburger meat. I’m using the medium heat enchilada sauce from the Fresh Chile Company, or, if you’ve got some of my Cowboy Ketchup on hand, that’ll work, too. If you don’t have either yet, any red enchilada sauce you pick up at the market will work fine.

Tip: The best tools for mixing ground beef are your hands.
Finish by adding Original Seasoning (you can substitute salt, pepper, and garlic to taste) and mixing it thoroughly. Don’t do this too early, because the sodium can dry out the meat.
Divide the meat into four equal parts.
Get the Grill Hot and Greased
Slice a white onion and roast them in a skillet with a serrano pepper (unsliced).
Tip: If a Serrano pepper is too hot, remove the seeds, replace with a milder pepper, or just leave it out.
Set aside the onions and pepper and grease up the skillet. It’s time to grill the burgers!
While the burgers are grilling, butter the corn tortillas on both sides and toast on the skillet until pliable and a golden brown.
When the burgers are almost ready to serve, place a slice of colby jack cheese on top of each one. When theyr’e melty, it’s time to assemble the Enchilada Burger.

Assemble the Enchilada Burger
This is by far the most challenging part, but really, it’s easy. If you mix up what goes where it’s still going to taste great! Start by adding enchilada sauce to the bottom bun. Next, Top with 1 grilled corn tortilla and a slice of cheese, followed by a hamburger patty, another grilled tortilla, onions, and pepper slices, a little more enchilada sauce, and top with the bun. Do that all over again, and then it’s time to chow down!
