Ingredients
Burgers
1-1/2 pound Ground round beef
1 Small onion, finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tbs fresh cilantro, minced
1 tbs Paprika
1 tbs Chile powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Allspice
1 tsp Ground black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp cocoa
As desired salt
Marinade
1 cup Tequila
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup orange juice
Rolls
4 Ciabatta rolls or crusty sandwich rolls
2 tbs melted butter
4 tbs Kosher salt
Preparation
Assembly Mix all burger ingredients in a medium bowl. Add salt to taste, there will be salt on the buns. Form four patties to fit the shape of the Ciabatta rolls. Mix the marinade ingredients into a shallow dish which can hold the four patties in one layer. Marinate at least two hours. Turn patties if not covered by the marinade. Grill or broil patties for desired doneness, 3 minutes per side for medium rare, up to six minutes per side for charcoal. While patties are cooking, cut ciabatta rolls in half lengthways, brush the tops with the melted butter and cover liberally with salt. Place under broiler for one minute to set the salt in place. Place one patty in each roll. Serve with your choice of salsa and tortilla chips, jalapenos optional.
