These Green Chili Burgers are a wonderful Tex-Mex inspired burger to have on your Memorial Day cookout.
My grocery store had Hass avocados 2 for
a $1 recently. I can't resist a good deal so I bought about six of
them. Then I had to come up with a bunch of recipes to use them in!
That always happens to me when I buy on impulse because I see a good
deal. I once bought 24 pounds of sweet potatoes because it was 3 pounds
for a dollar! We ate sweet potatoes in everything that month. I
think I need help. LOL!
Okay... let me get back to this fun burger. My husband loves a big juicy burger, so I thought this Green Chili Burger would be a perfect burger to top with some beautiful green slices of avocado.
I set out to make the burger and lunch was ready in less than 20 minutes. Of course, my husband had to wait patiently for me to photograph the burgers for the blog before he could get the green light to eat them. Life is not so easy when you are married to a food blogger... Photos always come first! When he finally got his hands around one of these burgers, he said the wait was worth it and had a big smile on his face.
