Hamburguesa de Ternera is a healthy twist on the traditional Spanish burger, featuring lean beef packed with Mediterranean flavors. This dish is served on whole-grain bread with fresh vegetables, making it both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

• Lean ground beef (90% lean) - 250 grams
• Whole grain burger buns - 2 pieces
• Fresh spinach - 50 grams
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced

• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the beef mixture into two equal patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.
