Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

To prepare avocado spread combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mashed avocado, chiles, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To prepare tomato pepper slaw combine, in a medium bowl, the chile peppers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, olive
oil, lime juice, sugar, salt, ground pepper, and crushed red pepper. Toss until well coated.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

For the patties combine the Fajita seasoning, salt, pepper, olive oil, and water in a small bowl.
In a medium sized bowl combine the meat, beans, chiles, and seasoning mixture. Mix by hand
until the meat absorbs all the seasoning mixture. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and form
into patties big enough to fit the bun.

Brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the grill rack, cover, and grill for 5 minutes. Turn
patties over, and continue to grill until done, another 5-7 minutes for medium, or 8-10 minutes for
medium well. During the last 2 minutes of grilling place a cheese slice on each patty. Also, place
rolls, cut side down, along the outer edges of the rack and toast lightly.

To assemble burgers place one romaine leaf on each roll bottom, followed by cheese topped
patty, and generous amount of tomato pepper slaw. Spread roll top with a generous amount
of avocado chile spread, add roll top and serve.
