The HF burger lab is open and they’ve invented a crowd-pleasing mashup of ground beef, Tex-Mex seasoning, and scallions. Griddle to juicy perfection, then tuck into fluffy toasted potato buns spread with guacamole and layered with sliced tomato. Serve blue tortilla chips on the side to make burger night an instant fiesta.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions. Thinly slice tomato into rounds; season with salt and pepper.

Form & Cook Patties
2

• In a large bowl, combine beef*, scallions, and half the Tex-Mex paste (all for 4 servings). Form mixture into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook until browned on one side, 3-5 minutes. • Flip, then reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes more. TIP: The Tex-Mex paste will release oil and splatter a little; lower heat if necessary.

Toast Buns
3

Meanwhile, halve and toast buns.

Finish & Serve
4

• Fill buns with patties; top with guacamole and as many tomato slices as you like. • Divide burgers and tortilla chips between plates. Serve.

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