Chili's Nacho Burgers

First make the pico de gallo. This is easy. Just combine all of theingredients for the pico in a small bowl and mix well. Cover bowl andchill in the refrigerator.

Now we'll make the guacamole. In a small bowl, smash up most of theavocado, but be sure to leave several unsmashed chunks. Add theremaining ingredients for the guacamole to the avocado and mix well.

Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator, next to the pico.

Next we'll make the chili queso. In yet another small bowl, mixtogetherground beef, flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and apinch of chili powder. Use your hands to work the dry ingredients intothe ground beef. Brown the beef in a small skillet over medium heatfor about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula to crumble the beef as itcooks. Cook until it's brown, then set aside.

Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat. When milkand cheese has been combined, add the remaining queso ingredients.

Heat while stirring often until cheese is smooth and creamy,then cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.

Pre-heat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly butterthe face of each bun and brown the buns face-down on the heat.

Separate the ground beef into four 1/2-pound portions. Roll eachportionof meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into a circular pattyslightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns. Cook the hamburgerpatties for 5-10 minutes per side, until done. Lightly salt and peppereach burger patty.
