"From Rachael Ray Mag 11/08. Haven't made these yet, but can't wait to try them out at the weekend tailgate! I love smaller, bite size foods-especially at parties, potlucks & tailgates. Rachael suggests serving these with margaritas and tortilla chips-yumm."

Fantastic! I used Hatch green chili instead of poblano and ground turkey for the sirloin. The burgers were cooked on the George Forman. Served these with an assortment of pickles and olives with tortilla chips. Definitely a repeat. Made for *My 3 Chefs*
