Method

Copy Text

Mix the mince, onion, scallions, chilli oil and seasoning well together.

With wet hands shape into 4 burgers. Flatten each one down with the palm of your hand until you have a nice even shape. This way they will cook more quickly and evenly.

Keep in the fridge until ready to cook.

Grill, barbecue or cook on a black ridge pan, until fully cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes on each side.

Meanwhile mix all the salsa ingredients together. Then place a spoonful of salsa on top of each burger and top with a slice of cheese.

Grill, or cover the barbecue or pan and continue to cook for another minute until the cheese has melted.

Serve on a bap with some salad leaves and the remaining salsa.
