Add a little spice to your life with these mildly-spiced beef burgers topped with an easy-to-make chimichurri sauce recipe. Chimichurri is a lively pesto-like, parsley sauce that is used like ketchup in Argentina.

Ingredients

1 egg, beaten


½ cup (125 mL) crushed corn chips


¼ cup (50 mL) salsa


1 clove garlic, minced


2 tsp (10 mL) Cajun spice


¼ tsp (1 mL) EACH salt and pepper


2 green onions, finely chopped


1 lb (500 g) Lean Ground Beef Sirloin or Lean Ground Beef


Toasted burger buns or flatbread


Chimichurri Sauce (recipe follows)

Directions

Whisk together egg, corn chips, salsa, garlic, Cajun spice, salt, pepper and green onions in large bowl.

Crumble in ground sirloin and combine gently. Form into 4 to 6 patties that are each ¾-inch (2 cm) thick.

Grill patties using medium-high heat for 10 to 14 minutes, turning twice, until digital rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C). Serve tucked into buns or flatbread. Top each with Chimichurri Sauce.
