Taco Burgers

You’ll need:

1 1-2 lbs hamburger

1 packet taco seasoning

1/2 yellow onion diced small

1 red bell pepper

1 jalapeño

1/2 red onion

1 bunch cilantro

1 tbsp lime juice

6 slices habanero cheese

1 avocado

Directions:

Place burger into bowl and add in half a diced yellow onion and taco seasoning. Mix well then patties into 6 burgers. Place into a medium high grill and grill until done to your liking. We like ours a little pink so we do about 5 minutes per side. Then we add cheese and set onto plate. You should also slice half of the red pepper in thick slices width wise and slice onion strips with the other half of the yellow onion. Drizzle them with olive oil and place into the grill when you start the burgers. I like to add in jalapeños 4 sliced lengthwise and grill those also but you will get lots of heat! But we like it that way! While burgers and veggies are cooking dice your half a red onion, the jalapeño, half the red pepper into small pieces and chop cilantro. Place into a bowl and then add the lime juice and season with salt to taste. Slice the avocado so it’s ready to top.

To assemble: place burger onto a bun or into a flour tortilla (we throw them on the grill to crisp and heat just for a few minutes) then add the roasted red peppers and onion, the PICO we made and then the avocado! Then enjoy!!!!

Best Pork Ribs

Ingredients: 
Pork Ribs 1-2 slabs 
1 tbsp Garlic Salt 
1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar 
4-6 Corn on the cob 
2 cups mixed greens 
tomatoes
cucumber 
red onion 
1- 24oz  sweet baby rays original 

Ribs-
Get a big pot and put the pork ribs whole into pot then add the apple cider vinegar, garlic salt and then fill the rest of pot with water to cover ribs. Bring to a boil and let boil on low for 45 minutes. This makes the ribs so juicy and fall off the bone. You will be having your family beg for more. 

For the corn soak corn for an hour in water with the husks on. 

Turn on your grill and then place the ribs on and add a layer of sweet baby rays. Then let start to carmalise then flip and add sauce to other side. Repeat this process until you have a nice thick layer of gooey sauce. 

Add the corn to the grill and grill for 10-15 minutes. 

Make your salad while the corn is cooking make sure to rotate the corn a few times. 

Then enjoy!!
