A few notes about this lovely meal.

• These were SO GOOD, but they were super crumbly…from the beans…so I would add an egg to hold the burgers together.
• The cilantro and lettuce are from the garden.
• The bread…because I had no buns in the house. And ran out of time to make them from scratch.
• The salsa is homemade from last year’s garden. (Canned, of course.)
• The salad dressing is homemade Cilantro Lime Dressing – 1/4 cup canola oil, 3 Tbsp lime juice, 1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Used a few spoonfuls.
• The boys ate these with ketchup, not salsa. They eat ketchup with just about everything.  If this continues on into adulthood, they might need to attend a Ketchups Anonymous meeting.

And now I leave you with the burger recipe.  Including the egg that I did not use, but the recipe needs.

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• 1/2 small yellow onion grated

Instructions

• Cut an onion in half and pull off 2 garlic cloves.
• Peel back the flaky onion layer. I like to use the "root" end to hold onto while grating the onion. Chop the garlic clovers.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, mashed pinto beans and taco seasoning. Combine and form into 6 patties.
• Grill the patties, until cooked through. Serve on buns with a spoonful or two of salsa on top.
