Hella Mega Suiza Mex Burgers Recipe
It is burger time! Making Hella Mexa Suiza Burgers. Basically we’re gonna make a Mexican style spiced hamburger with a raw suiza-style (aka: green salsa or salsa verde) as our special sauce and we’re gonna melt both Swiss and pepperjack cheese on the burger itself. YUM!
Serve with baked off frozen fries and try a spice sprinkle like garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, coriander.
