Guadalajara Burger With Tequila-Spiked Salsa
"The salsa that goes with this burger is a refreshing step away from your typical tomatoes and lettuce. The recipe makes more salsa than you need, so serve the extra on the side with tortilla chips. You can make the salsa ahead of time. Originally from my favorite cookbook Cooking Light 2004."

Here's the problem with this recipe. Salsa is composed of little diced ingredients. When you top the burger with the salsa, it mostly rolls off the burger. When you pick it , even more falls off. I ended up eating it by taking a bite of the salsa from a spoon and then a bite of the burger. It's just a case of seriously bad burger design. Otherwise, it's okay, but nothing special. The vaunted tequila-spiked salsa has little tequila flavor and is really just a good-but-nothing-special salsa. I wouldn't make this again.

Oooh, that salsa is so good. The tequila adds a little something special. A perfect addition to the burger. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I currently a student at Pomona College, just outside of Los Angeles. It's really hard to cook at school, but that hasn't changed my passion for food.
My favorite cookbooks are the Cooking Light annual recipe composition cookbooks (especially 2004) and the Nordstrom Friends and Family cookbook. And now recipezaar is one of the best cookbooks I use.
