Ingredients:

• 1 large tomato, seeded and finely chopped;
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green sweet pepper;
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion;
• 2 finely chopped, seeded jalapeno peppers;
• 1 clove garlic, minced;
• 1 tbsp snipped cilantro;
• 1/4 tsp salt;
• 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef;
• 2 cups shredded lettuce;
• 1/3 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese;
• 1/4 cup dairy sour cream and/or guacamole.

Method:
For salsa, in a bowl combine tomato, green sweet pepper, onion, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the salsa. Cover and chill remaining salsa until serving time. In another bowl combine ground beef and the 2 tablespoons of salsa; mix well. Shape mixture into six 1/2-inch-thick oval patties. Grill patties on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 13 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in side of patty registers 160° F, turning patties once halfway through grilling time. Arrange shredded lettuce on individual plates. Top with burgers, remaining salsa, and cheddar cheese.
