Get your dinner mojo back with this flavorful burger! “Mojo” here actually refers to a citrusy, garlicky sauce beloved by many in the Caribbean. It’s typically used as a marinade for roasted pork, but ours gets folded into juicy pork patties AND stirred into mayo for an unforgettable topping. Served with roasted potato wedges on the side, this meal guarantees good dinner vibes only!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Cut potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and crispy, 20-25 minutes.
• While potatoes roast, zest and quarter lime. Quarter mandarin orange. Peel and mince garlic. Halve buns.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, half the mustard, half the lime zest, 1 TBSP olive oil, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, 1⁄4 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, juice from one lime wedge, and juice from one mandarin orange wedge (for 4 servings, use all the lime zest, 2 TBSP olive oil, 1 tsp sugar, 1⁄2 tsp Fajita Spice Blend, juice from two lime wedges, and juice from two mandarin orange wedges). Season with salt and pepper.
• In a medium bowl, combine pork, garlic, remaining Fajita Spice Blend, remaining mustard, 1⁄2 tsp salt, juice from one lime wedge, juice from one mandarin orange wedge, and pepper (for 4 servings, use 1 tsp of salt, juice from two lime wedges, and juice from two mandarin orange wedges). Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook until cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with Monterey Jack; cover pan to melt cheese. • Turn off heat; transfer patties to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Melt 1 TBSP butter in the same pan over medium heat. Add buns, cut side down; toast until golden, 2-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches, using 1 TBSP butter for each batch.) • Spread bottom and top buns with a thin layer of sauce. Fill buns with patties and pickle slices. • Divide cheeseburgers and potato wedges between plates. Serve with any remaining lime wedges, mandarin orange wedges, and sauce on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the citrus-infused pork, though some found it mild; the zesty mayo and pickles were highlights 🍔
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with juicy burgers that came together well for most
- Suggestions: Consider adding caramelized onions or dicing the pickles for extra flavor; try less olive oil in the sauce to thicken it
- Portions: Some wanted more veggies; a few suggested including lettuce, tomato, or slaw as additional toppings
- Texture: The pork was juicy for most, but a few found it dry or crumbly; adding an egg to the mix might help
Reviews from our home cooks
Please put this on the menu again, damn near PERFECT! I love pork burgers to begin with but this one was fantastic. The citrus cuts through the fat and just makes the meal. I would like to offer two suggestions that would absolutely make this sheer perfection. First, the pickles. I would add a recommendation to the recipe to dice them first. I'm a house of one, so I cook one night, and enjoy the second serving the next night. Second time around, I diced the pickles to make it a bit easier to eat and it VASTLY improved it. The other one is that the potatoes were good but could be dressed up (as is true of most recipes w/ wedge potatoes). In this recipe, double the sauce and use the extra sauce and leftover diced pickles on the fries and it would be SPECTACULAR. I loved this one though, this should be Hall of Fame, I so want to order this one again!
The citrus flavors in this burger were a nice change up from the predictable pork and pineapple combo. This recipe was also quick and easy. We really enjoyed this meal!
The zesty mayo was amazing! Also, adding citrus juice directly into the meat gave it a great texture after cooking.
This was a fun burger, easy to make. Unique flavors, but the pickles steal the show. I think lime zest added to the meat would improve the flavor.
Really nice burgers all around. I would say I'd wish there'd been more of a citrus kick. Mostly could only taste it in the sauce. I'd do zest in the burgers as well as the sauce. Sauce was too thin with that much juice in it. Tasty but too thin. I didn't want soggy bread so I added more mayo so it was creamier. Makes for a good dipping sauce for the potatoes too. Would have loved additional veggies for my burger like onion, tomato, and/or lettuce. Especially onion. Would go well with the citrus. Not just sauce and pickles.
Outstanding! The slightly sweet citrus plays off the sour crunch of the pickles. Wonderful flavor-filled burger!
The toasted buns and juicy pork are so delicious. And the acid from the pickles balances the sweet fattiness perfectly. Also, I LOVE pickles in general.
So perfect! Lots of flavor & moist burgers. The only change I would do is less olive oil in sauce because it was too runny for my liking.
Oh my gosh, absolutely amazing. One of the best HF meals so far, I'm dying to eat this again. The flavors on the burger were just so perfect
Was hesitant about the pork burgers, but these were so delicious and the citrus elements elevated the whole dish!
