Cinco de Mayo Burgers

Happy Cinco de Mayo! For most of us who celebrate this holiday, it's all about getting your drink on, so who wants to be strapped down in the kitchen with hugely elaborate recipes? This one is so easy, and quick, that you'll be able to get back to the party in minutes!

Serving Suggestion
Serve with tortilla chips and salsa or guacamole, or with spanish rice and beans. To garnish, think burrito fillings. Sour creem, avocado, salsa, peppers, onions...

Disclaimer: NEVER, EVER do I write recipes that require you to buy a prepackaged meat analog. This is my only exception. Soyrizo is one of the only processed foods that I buy on a regular basis. It tastes SO GOOD! It's available at most grocers now as well.
