Fajita Burgers

I made these burgers for dinner the other night and they were delicious!  It was a nice change from our "standard" burgers.  I made the plain burgers for my kids and made these for my husband and I.  I also made extras and froze them.  They are easy and delicious!

Enjoy!

FAJITA BURGERS

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1)  In a skillet, over medium heat, melt the coconut oil.

2)  Add the onion and peppers, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until softened.  Set aside to cool.

3)  In a large bowl, place the ground beef, egg, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper.

4)  When the onion and peppers are cool enough to handle, spoon them into the beef mixture and mix gently with your hands until it's well combined.

5)  Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal parts, and shape them into patties with your hands.

6)  Grill over medium -high heat until burgers are cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side.

7)  To freeze, wrap burgers individually in Press N Seal or plastic wrap and place in the freezer.

NOTES:

~I made 8 quarter pound burgers, instead of 6.
