Smashy Burger Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

3. 3

   Grill the Onions

   While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion into rings. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, and grill the onions for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Prepare the Harissa Salsa

   In a small bowl, mix the harissa with diced tomatoes to create a spicy salsa. Adjust the amount of harissa to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, layer with lettuce, the cooked patties, grilled onions, a generous scoop of the harissa salsa, and sprinkle with queso fresco. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
