Chicken Tequila Burgers

There is just the right amount of tequila kick in these Chicken Tequila Burgers. Great for a barbecue or dinner during the week.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 1/4 cup tequila
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 jalapeo pepper, seeded and minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices pepper jack cheese
• Lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices for garnish

Instructions:

Ground chicken, tequila, red onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeo, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper should all be mixed together in a bowl

Combine well

Split the mixture in half and shape each half into a burger patty

Warm the grill up to medium-high heat and grease the grate

The patties should be cooked all the way through after 5 to 6 minutes on each side

In the last minute of cooking, cover the grill and put a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each patty

This will melt the cheese

On the grill, toast the hamburger buns until they are just barely golden

Start by putting a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun

Then add a chicken tequila patty, tomato slices, avocado slices, and finally the top bun

Warm it up and serve it with your favorite sides

Have fun
