Mexican Chili Beef Burgers

Tonight we are starting off with a bang!!!  We made these tonight and they were awesome!  I will  be making them again...fo sho!  Both the hubby and I rated these FIVE STARS!  Yummo!

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef
1 egg white
1/4 c minced onion
1/4 tomato juice (i used tomato sauce thinned w/ water because I couldn't find a single can of juice)
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp blk pepper
1/2 tsp fresh cilantro

Mix all together and form into patties.  I got 6 patties medium patties. I like to place fresh made patties in freezer to set before throwing them on grill. They don't seem to fall apart as much. While those are chillin' make up your salsa.

Salsa
1 medium tomato, diced
3 medium radishes, diced {you're probably thinking...EWWW...but seriously you have to try it!! }
1/3 c  avocado, diced
1 tbsp of fresh cilantro {I'm finding out that fresh herbs make a HUGE difference-plus they are cheaper}
1 tbsp lime juice
dash of salt

Mix all together and set aside and get to grillin' your burgers!

When you're burgers are almost done, throw your "slimwich" buns on the grill to add an extra little crunch. I usually don't do this but it's a nice change of pace.  Place your burgers on your grilled buns, top with 1/4 c salsa and ENJOY! Oh yeah and did I mention they are only 6 points!

I would love to hear your thoughts if you make these! :)

Weight Watchers Here We Come....

Three kids and over the age of 30, I'm slowly {ok, very slowly} starting to accept that I will never fit into the skinny jeans hidden at the bottom of my drawer.  I guess my mom was tired of hearing me complain of having the muffin top so she's suckered me into doing Weight Watchers.  We've been doing it together for four VERY LOOOOOOONG weeks!  With some success I'm starting to get a bit excited and wondering why the heck I didn't do this before!  So my new obsession {along with the ongoing craft-a-holic in me} is trying to find good, healthy recipes. 

My goal in creating this blog is to share some recipes and with the help from my hubby {ok I bribed him} to help me rate them.   So, as my 4 1/2 year old says..."Let's Rock This Joink"!!
