Fiery Mini Burgers: A Zesty Twist

Ingredients

• 20 ounces of ground beef
• A generous sprinkle of chili powder
• A hint of garlic powder
• A pinch of salt
• A dash of ground cumin
• 8 halves of Cheddar cheese slices
• A handful of fresh cilantro leaves
• A dollop of mayonnaise
• A finely chopped, seeded jalapeno chile
• A drizzle of lemon juice
• 8 toasted slider buns
• A mound of shredded cabbage

Step 1

Preheat the outdoor grill to a cozy medium-high temperature (around 375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 to 230 degrees Celsius) for that perfect cook.

Step 2

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with a delightful blend of chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cumin. Shape the mixture into 8 flavorful patties. Before grilling, lightly grease the grill grate to prevent sticking. Cook the patties until they are beautifully browned, flipping once, for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Add a layer of cheese during the final minute of grilling to achieve that gooey goodness.

Step 3

For a zesty twist, whip up a vibrant puree using fresh cilantro, creamy mayonnaise, spicy jalapeno, and zesty lemon juice in a trusty food processor or blender. Spread this flavorful mixture generously on the bottom halves of the buns. Assemble your burger by layering with crisp cabbage, the grilled patties, and finally the top buns. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!
