The Cuban Burger is a flavorful fusion of traditional Cuban ingredients and classic American flavors, featuring a juicy beef patty topped with tangy pickles, zesty mustard, and a slice of Swiss cheese. This high-protein dish is perfect for burger enthusiasts looking for a unique twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (80/20) - 400 grams
• Swiss cheese - 2 slices
• Dill pickles - 4 slices
• Yellow mustard - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined and form into two equal-sized patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until cooked to your desired temperature.
3. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
4. While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in the oven until lightly golden.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading yellow mustard on the bottom half of each bun, placing the burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by dill pickle slices and chopped cilantro.
6. Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your Cuban Burger!
