🇲🇽 Mexican Chicken Burger Bursting with Flavor
This burger gets its amazing flavor from cumin, smoked paprika, and cilantro. For instance, have you ever tried burgers with pineapple? Talk about a delicious combination.
For example, I love to serve mine on sweet potato toast. Thinly slice the sweet potato and place it into a toaster, just like regular toast.
This is the perfect way to add more nutrients. Yum. Interested in learning more about sweet potatoes? I wrote an informative article on the health and beauty benefits of sweet potatoes.
🍗 I Can't Wait For You to Try This Tasty Chicken Burger Recipe
There are so many impressive health benefits of chicken. Ground chicken has a mild profile flavor. This means it will take on the flavor of whatever seasonings you choose to use for the recipe you are making.
👩🍳 How to Make the Best Mexican Chicken Burger Recipe
For instance, here, since it's a Mexican chicken burger patty, I chose cumin and smoked paprika to bring that Mexican flavor profile forward.
When choosing ground chicken, check for 90% lean. This is because typically packaged poultry is made from dark meat, and the skin is added in. 90% lean ground chicken is made from ground breast meat instead of dark meat.
Chicken is also a wonderful source of B vitamins, which will help in energy production, as well as help form red blood cells in the body.
