My Mom s Baja Burger
A family favorite with a Baja twist—often featuring avocado, spicy sauce, and zesty toppings. A homemade burger with a coastal, Mexican-inspired flair.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds browned ground beef 1 cup corn chips such as fritos® salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 (6 inch) french bread rolls, split in half lengthwise
Directions:
- Mix the ground beef and corn chips; form into 8 oblong patties; season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, onion, garlic salt, and chili powder.
- Cook the patties in a large skillet over medium heat, 4 to 5 minutes; flip. Pour the tomato sauce mixture into the skillet as the burgers finish cooking, simmer for another 4 to 5 minutes. Top each burger with Cheddar cheese and allow to melt. Place burgers on bread and ladle sauce on the patties before sandwiching.
