Chipotle Beef & Guacamole Tortas

Serves 4

'Torta' is Spanish for sandwich. These 'tortas' are a spicy, Spanish version of burgers. In Mexican bakeries, there are long rolls called `bolillos' but any large and crusty French roll will do.

1 1/2 lbs (750g) lean ground beef
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp (5ml) VE Chipotle Chili
1 Tbsp (15ml) ketchup
1 Tbsp VE 3 Onion Dip Mix
2 tsp ground Cumin
VE Sea Salt & VE Pepper, to taste
4 large crusty rolls, split in half
1 large beefsteak tomato
1 cup prepared VE Guacamole Dip

1. Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Season with freshly ground VE Sea Salt and VE Pepper.
2. Form into 4 patties, approximately the same size as buns.
3. Grill patties over medium high heat, browning both sides. (Cooked patties will have an internal temperature of 160F.)
4. Top with tomato slices and VE Guacamole Dip.
