Instructions

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.

Prepare Ranchero Salsa Fresca first as the flavors need to blend for at least one hour.

*When sweet summer tomatoes are not available, substitute 1 can diced tomatoes, drained.
**To Make Salsa Hotter: Add an additional 1 or 2 fresh jalapeños (Hot), 1 or 2 fresh serranos (Hotter) 1 habanero chili (Hottest)
