I know what you might be thinking,“really Erica, a burger again”? But trust me, this is good! Here is the little burger I made myself for lunch about two months ago using the delicious flavors of Mexico: a beef patty topped with tomato, guacamole, refried beans, queso fresco, and red onions.
It was absolutely fantastic and I suggest that you make this Mexican burger on Labor Day, or any day, and wash it down with a cold Margarita!
Happy Labor Day everyone!
