Nacho Crunch Burgers
with Siesta Potatoes
- Sesame
- Milk
- Soy
- Wheat
We know what you’re thinking, “Is this a dream? Did HelloFresh really make a dish that combines nachos with burgers?” We sure did! Between each soft, pillowy bun you’ll find a juicy beef patty smothered with saucy nacho cheese and fresh pico de gallo. Blue corn tortilla chips are tucked into the burger for maximum crunch. And because a good burg’ deserves some tater love, we paired the dish with “siesta” potatoes—diced and spiced roasted Yukon Golds topped with sour cream and more pico—that you definitely don’t want to sleep on!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, Mexican Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until lightly golden and tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, divide potatoes between two sheets; roast on top and middle racks.)
• While potatoes roast, finely dice tomato. Mince jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Quarter lemon.
• In a small bowl, combine tomato, jalapeño, juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4), and a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: Not a fan of spicy food? Feel free to add as little or as much jalapeño as you like.
• Form beef* into two patties (four patties for 4 servings), each slightly wider than a burger bun. Season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • Meanwhile, halve buns; toast directly on oven rack until golden.
• Meanwhile, place queso blanco in a second small microwave-safe bowl; cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave until warmed through, 25-30 seconds; stir. TIP: If necessary, microwave for 5-10 seconds more.
• Fill buns with tortilla chips (use about half a bag per bun), patties, queso blanco, and half the pico de gallo. • Divide burgers and potatoes between plates. Top potatoes with remaining pico and sour cream. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
I did not expect this to be a favorite, and I'm not a huge fan of queso but WOW. This recipe was EVERYTHING. This is one of a handful of recipes I'd order over and over again. The crunch was perfect, I would never have thought to put chips on a burger but WOW. The potatoes were seasoned just right and came out perfectly.
Nacho Crunch Burgers were so much fun to eat. Maybe the hamburger didn't quite stay together with the nachos, which fell off but the hamburger was divine. The Siesta potatoes were also an experience, a great experience to eat! Just marvelous
Clever use of nacho chips (and they were also delicious on their own) to add interest to beef burgers. Siesta potatoes were also great.
I loved everything about this recipe! It was so delicious! My kids crumbled their burger over the potatoes and put queso on it and it was amazing too
This was like a party in my mouth! So many flavors. And that crunch in the burger was a mouth feel bonus. Loved it.
Really delicious burger, only critique is needs more Queso so I could have enough to make the burger oozey in cheese and would have liked to dip the potatoes in some cheese
We were surprised at how tasty this was. The chips in the burger were a great crunch texture.
I absolutely LOVED this burger. Added a few pieces of lettuce. The potatoes not so much. Too many, and just bleh. Need some new side dish options
I wasn't sure what to expect from this meal--was a little skeptical of the combo of nachos and burger but it was REALLY good! Would definitely order again!
SO GOOD! Favorite recipe for this year so far! I love the nacho cheese and it all comes together so well!
