Mexican-style Burgers |

This is my cheap and easy way to spice up an old favourite. Must be served in a gluten-free bun, of course!

4 quarter pounders

25 mins

450g (1lb) good quality minced or ground beef. Not too lean.

1 small onion

2-3 cloves of garlic

1 egg

2-3 fresh green chillies (if liked)

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp paprika (preferably smoked)

Chilli powder or cayenne to taste

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the grill to a moderate heat
Finely chop the onion, garlic and chillies (if using) and combine well with the meat
Add the lightly beaten egg and mix
Add the dry ingredients and incorporate into the meat and onion mix
Divide the mixture into four equal balls and flatten on a chopping board
Grill for about 15 minutes, turning regularly
