"I love these burgers, which feature guacamole and juicy southwestern flavored burgers with pepper jack cheese. Treat yourself and your guests to these "salsa" burgers, along with something good like skillet fries with onions and a black bean and corn salad."

Very tasty! Loved the avocado-mayo with the cheese and well-seasoned burgers. I halved the recipe and made 4 burgers which we did not eat on buns because we are reducing our carb intake. We'll definitely have again. Thanks for posting.

Delicious and easy meal. I used ground turkey breast in substitution for the ground beef, and light sour cream instead of mayo in the salsa. We grilled the burgers and enjoyed a lovely outdoor meal. Thanks!

Own a small catering company in Dallas called "Cookin Cowgirls," specializing in Tex-Mex, Southwestern, American regional, BBQ, and tropical foods. Grew up riding horses, but can hardly haul my big *** up on one now. The name for my company was my brother's idea. Having been in corporate America for years, now that I'm older, I have zero interest in the rat race, and only work when I have to. I am a former screenwriter, with 3 movies produced, but prefer cooking. I'm a movie buff, opera and golden oldies music lover, and a political junkie. For fun, I read mysteries and thrillers, watch old movies, and play with my birds, who otherwise would chew the condo down around my ears, if left to their own devices. Also, I am working on a Texas sauce/salsa/dressing cookbook I want to self-publish. I like to read cookbooks, but now mostly collect recipes off the net, especially virtualcities, epicurious, and now, recipezaar. The cookbook I have used recently the most is "American Classics." I love to create new recipes and kitchen test them on my hapless friends and relatives. Haven't lost anyone yet! Re: Food TV shows - I think Iron Chef is irritating, and Emeril is contrived. Would rather watch someone cook who isn't putting on a big performance.
