Burgers, the perfect handheld meal that’s lovely by everyone. And what’s not to love beautifully cooked meat, toppings galore in between two pieces of bread, does it get any better?
Yes! It does with my fajita inspired burger using amazing chicken sausages with loads of guacamole, cheese and peppers and onions, come on!
Ingredients
300 g of chicken sausage.
2 tbsp of Fajita spice mix.
1 red pepper, sliced.
1 yellow pepper, sliced.
1 onion, sliced.
4 cheese slices.
4 burger buns, lightly toasted.
4 tbsp of guacamole.
Method
Take the sausages and pop out all the meat from the casing and place in a bowl with the fajita spice and mix. Then form into 4 burger patties, I like mine thin around the thickness of a one-pound coin.
Get the peppers and onions into a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Fry over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring them every so often.
In a separate frying pan again add a drizzle of olive oil and get over a medium heat. Add the burger patties and give them 3 minutes on one side, you want to get a bit of a crust on them. Once the 3 minutes are up flip over, add the cheese and fry for another 3 minutes. Because they are so thin they are not going to take longer to cook. Depending on how thick you make them they may take a little longer.
Once the burgers are cooked the peppers and onions should be good to go as well, so its now time to build your burger. I like to go bun (obviously), guacamole , patty (double patty if I’m really hungry), peppers and onions, chilli sauce (I need that kick) then top off with the bun. This burger can get messy so make sure you have lots of paper towels to hand.
