East Meets West Burgers

It’s What’s for Dinner Wednesdays.  I was asked, along with a few other bloggers, to participate in a recipe challenge hosted by Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner.  The recipe for this week is East Meets West Burgers.  I altered the recipe just a bit, using tortillas instead of buns.  I also took advantage of a jar of Hoisin Sauce to flavor the burgers, cutting down on the number of ingredients.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 lb. lean ground beef
• 4-5 Tbs. Hoisin Sauce, plus more to top burgers
• 1 cup slaw mix
• 1 tsp. rice vinegar
• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• large flour tortillas

In a bowl, combine the Hoisin Sauce and ground beef, mixing well with your hands.  Form into small patties.  I made 6 small (slider size) burgers with this.  Grill until done.

Mix the oil and vinegar into the cup of slaw mix.  To serve, spread Hoisin Sauce in the middle of a flour tortilla.  Place a burger on top.  Add slaw and fold the tortilla over, placing it with the folds down on the plate.  Cut this diagonally.  It’s a bit like a giant pot sticker or dumpling.

With the remaining slaw mix, I made Hawaiin Cole Slaw.  This was a perfect accompaniment to the burgers.

For participating in this recipe challenge, NCBA sent me this Beef Grilling Gift Bag.
