Zesty Ranchero Burger Platter

Nachos with salsa is a made in heaven combo, though let me show you how to take it a up notch further. In this recipe we are going to make a quick Ranchero Salsa Fresca and homemade hamburger and serve it over a bed of nachos and sour cream as a dip.

What you'll need...

In a non-reactive medium bowl, combine all salsa ingredients. Chill at least one hour. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Mix ground beef, onion, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper, to taste. Shape into 6 ½” thick round patties.
Grill or broil 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
When ready to serve, arrange a layer of tortilla chips in the middle of each serving plate.
Top with a layer of Ranchero Salsa Fresca. Add a layer of lettuce slightly larger than the size of your burger.
Add the burger to the center of the plate. Top with sour cream. Garnish with cilantro. Enjoy.
