I found this zinger of a burger on Sargento’s web site. This Southwest inspired burger is perfect for tailgating or any football get-together. It looks like it takes hours of preparation but is in fact, very simple.

Ingredients

* 2 lbs. lean ground beef
* 2 cups medium salsa, divided
* 1 cup chopped green onions, divided
* 1 cup finely crushed tortilla chips, divided
* 1 Tbsp. garlic salt
* 1 Tbsp. chili powder
* 8 hamburger buns, split
* 8 slices Sargento Deli Style Sliced Chipotle Cheddar Cheese

Directions

1. Combine ground beef, 1 cup salsa, 1/2 cup green onions, 1/2 cup tortilla chips, garlic salt and chili powder in large bowl. Shape beef mixture into 8 patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick. Preheat grill or broiler.
2. Grill patties, 5 minutes each side or until no longer pink in center (see below). Grill or lightly toast hamburger buns. Top patties with 1 slice cheese before removing from grill or broiler; let melt.
3. Place patties on buns. Top with remaining salsa, tortilla chips and green onions.
