Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Thinly slice tomato into rounds. Halve buns.
• In a medium bowl, combine beef* and Fajita Spice Blend. • Form beef mixture into two equal-size balls (four balls for 4 servings); season all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and flatten each ball with a spatula to create very thin patties. (TIP: Do so carefully; oil may splatter a bit.) Cook to desired doneness, 3-4 minutes per side. (Don’t worry if the patties aren’t perfectly round— those irregular edges will turn crispy.) • In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, top patties with Mexican cheese blend and cover pan to melt cheese.
• While patties cook, toast buns until golden brown. • Spread top buns with guacamole and hot sauce to taste. Place patties, tomato, and a few tortilla chips on bottom buns. Close buns. • Divide burgers between plates. Serve with remaining tortilla chips on the side.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
So quick and easy! Made everything exactly as on the recipe card except for the guac, ended up mixing guac with some sour cream I had in the fridge and making a sauce to dip the chips in (instead of using it on the burger). The family couldn't tell the difference, they loved it!
This recipe BY FAR was one of the best burger recipes on the site! So tasty! The ingredients worked so well together!
So so good! I love guacamole and chips and the burger is perfection. I could've eaten more but love that the portions are just right. Can't wait to have again.
Very delicious meal. Make sure to press/smash the burgers for a crisp exterior.
Guacamole was SO spicy. Thank goodness we didn't use all of it because it overpowered the taste of the rest of the burger. I kept patties to med and the meat was very dry. I enjoyed the spice of the meat but overall wasn't super impressed with this one.
Wow, loved this burger. Great flavor combination. Loved the chips, tasted great and nice to have a burger side that isn't fries.
This was better than I even imagined and so easy to make. I do think two bags of chips should be included for two people especially since they're used on the burger and as a side!
One of our all time favorites! The fajita seasoning made the burger so good!! Would love to see this as an option more frequently.
Delicious and easy. We loved the crunch added by using blue corn tortilla chips.
Delicious and easy! It was a win for the entire family and I will definitely make this recipe again.
