World Cuisine

Directions

Step 1

Divide the ground beef into three even portions. Season each one with some hot pepper sauce. I ball up the meat and poke my finger into it then fill the hole with hot sauce. Flatten into patties just a little larger than the English muffins.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cover and cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes per side or until well done. Top each patty with two pieces of cheese in an criss cross pattern. Cover and turn off the heat.

Step 3

Arrange the toasted English muffins on a serving plate. Spread the bottom half with a thin coating of Dijon mustard. Place a few slices of avocado over the mustard and use a fork to mash into the nooks and crannies. Place the beef patties on top of the avocado and top with a layer of green chilies. Plop the other halves of the English muffins on top. Serve and enjoy!
