Great burger - I didn't have any avocado and used canned home made salsa, added some lettuce. Used 2 corn tortillas Mmmmm Really enjoyed Thanks for posting podapo

If you still haven't tried this one, please do not wait! It is a very good and easy dish, with very little effort. Tasted delicious and was really not too hot, although for children you might want to cut back on the jalapeno's even though the flavor of the avocado takes some of heat away. Very good salsa also, but I had to use regular tomatoes as the store was out of roma's. All in all, I would say a great recipe and will use this again! Thank you podapo! :)
