Your favorite taco spot meets your favorite diner fare with this juicy pork burger that comes together in a quick and easy 15 minutes. You'll mix ground pork with our bold Mexican spice blend for a smoky, herbaceous flavor boost. Once cooked to juicy perfection, the patties are topped with a blend of shredded Mexican cheeses, piled with pico de gallo, and nestled into potato buns slathered in cilantro mayo (spiked with a little hot sauce, if you like!). If you’re thinking “this totally needs chips and guac on the side,” we’ve got your back. This dynamic duo adds the perfect crunchy-creamy flourish to complete your meal.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Sizzle
1

• In a large bowl, combine pork*, panko, stock concentrates, half the Mexican Spice Blend, and ¼ tsp salt (all the Mexican Spice Blend and ½ tsp salt for 4). Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Drizzle oil in a hot large, preferably nonstick, pan. Add patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top patties with cheese; cover pan until cheese melts.

Prep
2

• While patties cook, wash and dry produce. • Toast buns. • While buns toast, finely chop cilantro. • In a small bowl, whisk together mayo and as much cilantro and hot sauce as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Serve
3

• Spread cut sides of buns with cilantro mayo. Fill with patties and half the pico de gallo (draining first). • Serve burgers with tortilla chips. Top guacamole with remaining pico de gallo and serve on the side for dipping.

Ground Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Loved the burgers here. I would like to see a sourdough bun choice as well instead of potato. Or maybe even sub out a bun for a lettuce wrap or a thin bun. Some options there would be awesome.

Burgers are juicy and flavorful. Sauces on top off the burger are delightful. The chips are an added treat!

Not a fan of straight guac, would have been better if there were spices, herbs, or something to mix in and make more interesting. Burger was awesome.

Easy to fix! Pork needs some spice. Buns are a little thick.

I think a queso in addition to the spicy Mayo would make it better. But it was pretty good!

I wish I could opt out of the guac. I don't like it very much but I feel bad tossing it.
