Instructions

  1. Mix the minced beef with the cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, salt and pepper, then shape into four patties about 1.5 cm thick.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, chilli sauce and smoked paprika to make the spicy sauce.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over high heat and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium.
  4. Place the cheddar on the patties during the last minute of cooking so it melts.
  5. Toast the buns cut-side down in the pan for 1 minute.
  6. Spread the spicy sauce on the bottom halves of the buns, then add the lettuce and tomato.
  7. Top with the cheese-topped patty, a few onion rings and, if you like, some jalapeños.
  8. Close the burger and serve straight away with spiced chips.

Variations and tips

Chicken version. Replace the minced beef with chicken fillets, sliced and marinated in the same spices.
