Its spring time again and you know what that means, grilling season is upon us. Over the next few months, I will be posting a few burger recipes, starting with this recipe for southwest burgers. These were some of the best tasting burgers I have had in a while. The many different components come together almost flawlessly for a near perfect burger. If you enjoy tacos, you will surely enjoy this burger. You can adjust the amount of heat by using mild, medium or hot salsa. I don’t like an extreme amount of heat so I went with the mild. The sauce, which is a combination or guacamole and sour cream, just really tops this burger off nicely flavor wise. This recipe calls for buffalo burger but if you can’t find it, ground beef will work as well. Like most burger recipes, this is great if you are looking to prepare a quick meal. Enjoy.

Megan - Try using a little cumin and chile powder instead.

BOBBY! this burger looks delicious! I need help though. I am looking for the perfect burger for my daughters 1st b/day party. I was wondering if you could substitute the taco seasoning for another type of natural seasoning that is not so loaded in sodium???? Any suggestions because I will definitely try it!
