MARGARITA BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the tequila pickles: In a large, high-walled skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, jalapeño, onion, and garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, until the vegetables start to become tender but do not change color, about 3 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a 16-ounce airtight, heat-proof container.
• Return the pan to medium heat and add the tequila, white vinegar, bay leaf, black peppercorn, oregano, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by ⅓, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the vegetables and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the ice to the container and stir until completely melted. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The pickles can be made up to 1 week ahead.
• Make the guacamole: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, garlic, and Fresno chile. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add the avocados and salt and use a fork to mash together. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the guacamole. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the black bean burgers: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Add the black beans to a large bowl and use a potato masher to break down the beans until semi-smooth, with some beans left whole for texture. Add the panko bread crumbs, cilantro, scallions, jalapeño, salt, cumin, paprika, and eggs. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the intact burger buns on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each bun with the beaten egg, then top with the sea salt. Transfer to the oven and bake until the egg wash turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then place the black bean patties in the pan in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the patties begin to turn golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
• Assemble the burgers: Open the buns and spoon guacamole onto each bottom bun, spreading to cover completely. Place 2 slices of queso panela over the guacamole and top with a burger patty, followed by tequila pickles. Place the top bun on top. Serve with classic margaritas.
• Enjoy!

MARGARITA BURGERS

Steps:

• Assembly Mix all burger ingredients in a medium bowl. Add salt to taste, there will be salt on the buns. Form four patties to fit the shape of the Ciabatta rolls. Mix the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish which can hold the four patties in one layer. Marinate at least two hours. Turn patties if not covered by the marinade. Grill or broil patties for desired doneness, 3 minutes per side for medium rare, up to six minutes per side for charcoal. While patties are cooking, cut ciabatta rolls in half lengthways, brush the tops with the melted butter and cover liberally with salt. Place under broiler for one minute to set the salt in place. Place one patty in each roll. Serve with your choice of salsa and tortilla chips, jalapenos optional.

MASALA CHICKEN BURGER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the chicken burgers: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, mix together the McCormick® Garlic Powder, ground ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, chili powder, and salt.
• Add the ground chicken to a large bowl with the spice mix, red onion, jalapeño, if using, and egg. Using clean hands or a spatula, mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to prevent tough burgers.
• Divide the chicken mixture into 4 portions and shape into 1-inch-thick patties. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon or your thumb, gently press down on the center of each patty (this will help keep them flat during cooking). Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, until slightly more firm.
• While the patties are chilling, make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon zest and juice, parsley, McCormick® Garlic Powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cook the burgers: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C) and the patties are golden brown. Remove the patties from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before assembling the burgers.
• Place a piece of lettuce and a burger patty on one side of a piece of warmed naan bread, then dollop 3 tablespoons of yogurt sauce on top. Top with cucumber and red onion. Fold the other side of the naan over the burger patty and secure with a toothpick or skewer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
