Southwestern Burger

Found this from Self.com It looked interesting and it did not disappoint. It may be awhile before I go back to my old burger.

I did embellish my beef a bit more with good ol' Worchestershire sauce and garlic salt and what not. I also sauteed the onions, garlic and peppers. The kids were hesitant about eating it b/c of course it's new, but as Ian said himself, "This. is. out. of. Controoool!" In other words, they loved it too.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable cooking oil
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and grated
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 cup diced tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 4 whole-wheat burger buns

Preparation

Coat grill with cooking spray; heat on high. Mix sirloin, bell pepper, egg white, 1/2 teaspoon salt and hot sauce in a bowl. Form into four 4-inch patties. Set aside. Cook corn with 1 tablespoon water in microwave 30 seconds; mix with tomato, cilantro, juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Grill burgers 12 minutes, turning halfway through, until no longer red in the center. Place on buns and top with salsa.
