Tex-Mex Cheese-Stuffed Burgers

with Tomato Salsa and Potato Wedges

Make it cowboy style: these burgers go beyond the ordinary with Tex-Mex flavors that bring an extra kick. The beef patties are seasoned with warm Southwestern spices and stuffed with a handful of Monterey Jack cheese that oozes when you take a bite. For toppings, you’ve got a tomato salsa and spicy crema that add plenty of swagger. With some toasty roasted potato wedges on the side for good measure, this is guaranteed to be a grand ol’ time at the burger rodeo.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges (like steak fries). Finely dice tomato. Roughly chop cilantro leaves and stems.

  2. 2

    Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Southwest Spice, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack, flipping halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, a pinch of salt, and hot sauce to taste.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl, combine beef, remaining Southwest Spice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form mixture into two ½-inch-thick patties (four patties for 4). Divide cheese between the centers of each patty. Gently fold meat around cheese, shaping and sealing to create cheese-stuffed patties. Season all over with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. Meanwhile, halve and toast buns.

  6. 6

    Spread crema onto cut sides of buns. Fill buns with patties and salsa (you may have some left over). Serve with potatoes and any remaining salsa on the side.
