Instructions
Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat.
Oil grill grates with vegetable oil. For Mexican Street Corn, use 1 tablespoon of melted butter to brush over corn.
Place on grill and cover.
Grill for 8-10 minutes or until char marks appear, turning every 2-3 minutes.
Remove corn and cool before cutting off of cob.
Place remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add corn. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat through.
Remove from heat. Cover and keep warm.
For Sopapilla Buns, heat 1/2 Cup of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium high heat. Fry two rounds at a time for 15-20 seconds per side or until golden brown, turning once. Remove to paper towels to drain.
Repeat for remaining rounds, adding 1/4 Cup of oil at a time as needed to fry rounds. While rounds are frying, make patties by placing ground chuck, taco seasoning, salsa, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Work together with clean hands just until evenly combined. Divide and shape into six 5-inch patties.
Place on grill. Cover and grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium or to desired doneness.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty during last minute of grilling time.
For Sweet & Spicy Spread, stir honey, melted butter, and cayenne together in a small bowl.
For Del Sol Guacamole, stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until evenly combined.
To assemble burgers, place Sopapilla Buns on a work surface. Drizzle lightly with Sweet & Spicy Butter.
Add 1/3 Cup shredded lettuce and a cheese-topped patty to six buns then spread cheese-topped patties with about 1/4 Cup Del Sol Guacamole. Spoon about 1/4 Cup Mexican Street Corn on each.
