Southwest Burgers

1 1/2 pounds 90% lean Ground Beef
1/4 cup real mayo, divided
1 pkg. taco seasoning
1/2 cup colby and monterey jack cheese crumbles
1/4 cup salsa (I used Pace mild), divided
6 whole wheat buns, split and grilled
lettuce and sliced tomatoes

Mix hamburger, 3 Tbsp. mayo, and the taco seasoning together. Shape meat into 12 THIN patties.
Combine cheese and 2 Tbsp. of the salsa. Spoon over 6 of the patties. Cover each patty with the remaining 6 patties; pinch edges together to seal.
Grill until juice runs clear, approximately 7 mintues on each side. Mix remaining mayo and salsa together. Top each burger with sauce and garnish with lettuce and tomato.

* You can use lean ground turkey for this recipe as well. For those low carb people, just eliminate the bun.
I add the mayo to the meat when I make turkey burgers..and leave it out when I use hamburger. The turkey needs the extra moisture!
