Mexican Style Burger with Biltong

Here’s another delicious take on a Biltong Burger but this time around has some Mexican flare. @cookemeeatmeuk says, “The packets of high-protein biltong are delicious eaten on their own as snacks, however they really do take a burger to the next level when added in too!”

Serves 4 - 6

Ingredients:

     Burger Patties

• 375-400g Lean Steak Mince (makes 4 - 6 patties depending on thickness)
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp Paprika

Instructions:

1. Place the mince in a bowl with the spices, egg, and grated white onion. Mix everything together with your hands, making sure the mince is all broken up and blended together

3. Prepare the fillings and slice the buns in half
4. Heat a few sprays of oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add in each burger patty and cook for approx. 3 mins on each side
5. Add a slice of cheese on top of each burger, add a tiny bit of water to the pan and put the lid on to steam and melt the cheese.
6. In the meantime, quickly toast your buns under the grill
7. Once everything’s cooked, build your burger with the fillings
