    This delicious fusion fajita burger is topped with grilled onions, peppers, manchego cheese, and homemade guacamole.
    Course: sandwich
    Cuisine: American
    Author: Kita Roberts
    Servings: 6
    Calories: 735kcal

    Ingredients

    For the Fajita Seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    For the Burgers

    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 1 onion sliced into ¼" slices
    • 1 green pepper stemmed, seeded and sliced
    • 1 red pepper stemmed, seeded and sliced
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 6 slices Manchego cheese
    • ¼ cup guacamole
    • lettuce and tomato
    • 6 Brioche buns

    Instructions

    • Preheat one side of your grill to 400°F, leaving the other side off for indirect grilling.
    • Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
    • Meanwhile, mix 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning into the ground beef.
    • Form the ground beef into 6 patties. Make a dimple in the center of each with your thumb and season with salt and pepper.
    • Toss the onion slices and peppers in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Arrange the veggies in a grill basket and place on the cooler side of the grill over indirect heat, tossing occasionally until veggies are charred and softened, 7-10 minutes.
    • Arrange the patties on the hot side of the grill and close the lid. Grill 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°F, flipping once halfway through for even cooking.
    • Place the buns on the cool side of the grill to toast.
    • When the burgers are almost done, place a slice of Manchego cheese on each burger. Close the lid to allow the cheese to melt. Remove from grill and rest the burgers.
    • Arrange the buns with lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun. Top with a burger, a dollop of guacamole and a healthy pile of fresh grilled onions and peppers.
    • Grab an extra napkin.
