There is something so good about a grilled burger topped with your favorite tex mex toppings.

Today’s Tex Mex Burger is inspired by my two favorite tex mex ingredients- guacamole and pico de gallo. 

I just love both of those so much and eat them weekly.  Today’s burger is topped with a fresh pico de gallo and a creamy guacamole along with sliced jalapeños.

It is such a simple burger but so delicious. 

You might remember when I shared this Easy Avocado Burger – which used a creamy guacamole to top your favorite burger. 

And then a mouthwatering Greek Burger Recipe – which topped the burger with a creamy tzatziki sauce. Last month I shared this Easy Blue Cheese Burger which mixed two of my favorite ingredients together, beef and blue cheese.

Recipe Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Burgers: You can use pre-made burgers or you can make your own using ground beef.
  • Jalapeños: Sliced jalapeños are used to add some heat and spice to the burgers.
  • Buns: You can use buns or even just use big piece of romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce to create a lettuce wrap burger.
  • Guacamole: A homemade guacamole adds a creamy, savory flavor to the burger. You can also buy your favorite store-bought guacamole.
  • Pico de Gallo: Fresh homemade pico de gallo is the perfect fishing touch for these burgers. The pico mixes red onion, tomatoes, lime juice and cilantro.

How do you Make These Burgers

Step 1: Grill the Burgers: Heat the grill to medium high heat. Cook your burgers on the grill for about 6-7 minutes per side. The burgers are done when their internal temperature is 160 degrees F.

Step 2: Make Guacamole: Mix the avocado, lime juice, salt, tomatoes and cilantro in a medium bowl until the guacamole is creamy.

Step 3: Make the Pico: Combine the pico de gallo ingredients, mix and adjust seasoning.

Step 4: Assemble Burgers: Top the bottom of the bun with the burger, then the jalapeños, guacamole and then the pico de gallo.

Ways to Modify these Burgers

  • Cheese: Cheese is always a nice addition to a burger. I love pepper jack, sharp cheddar or cotija cheese on this burger. 
  • Vegetables: I love topping burgers with vegetables, especially grilled ones. If you have bell peppers, poblanos or sweet baby peppers on hand you should grill those up and add them to the burger. Other ideas are sliced radish, lettuce or tomato.
  • Greens: Greens are always a nice addition. I especially like romaine lettuce, arugula or a mixture of greens. 
  • Salsa: Salsa is my favorite addition to this Tex Mex Burger. I love adding this Homemade Salsa, Mango and Black Bean Salsa, Avocado Tomatillo Salsa or this Easy Homemade Salsa Verde
