STUFFED TEX-MEX BURGERS

Steps:

• Process first 5 ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth; chill.

• Grill patties, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat 5 minutes on each side or until done. For grown-up servings, serve burgers on buns with 2 tablespoons guacamole, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture, and desired toppings. For plain servings, serve burgers on buns without the guacamole and mayonnaise mixture.
