Hearty Fiesta Burgers

When growing up my Mother was always trying new things and was a good cook in general. Mom is a Chef today and still a wonderful cook. This is one of many good things she made when I was a kid. Who knows where she got the recipie but I always liked it and so do my children. I like spicy stuff so sometimes I will substitute jalapeno for the green pepper.
