Lets enjoy the  simpleness of burgers with a tangy Mexican twist.  These burgers are made with a crsipy chicken topped with spicy salsa and fresh avocado. A great change to the regular burger.

Note:  In the recipe below I state to use Spicy Salsa from the site. You can easily just make your own that you like.  I wouldn’t recommend using store bought kind of this topping.  It will leave the burger soggy and will lack that fresh flavour that this burger is all about.

How to Serve The Burgers

These burgers would make for a great casual dinner get together with friends.  Serve them along your favourite Mexican side dishes and you are all set. A favourite from this site would have to be the Mexican Rice Bowls

In the note above I mentioned not using store bought salsa. It really wouldn’t do the burger justice, and a lot of the flavour comes from the salsa. So, try not to skip on that part.  It is just chopped tomatoes, onions, and a few other things really.  Worth the effort.  So, follow the link to the Spicy Salsa!

Oh, you can also make your Homemade Hamburger Buns if you’re really feeling adventitious!
