Carne Asada Burgers
I saw bergy had a recipe for carne asada burgers, and while they weren't quite what i wanted, they inspired me to make up my own. We thought they were delicious! I am very much a cheeseburger person, but i didn't miss the cheese at all. In fact, i think it would not be as good with cheese as it was without it, except maybe pepper jack. Prep time includes marinading time.
