Total Recipe Time: 30 to 35 minutes
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 beef Strip Steaks Boneless, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 8oz each)
• 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
• 3 different vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, eggplant, red onion, red and yellow bell pepper or Romaine lettuce, cut lengthwise into quarters

Tasty Tuesday: Leftovers Edition

Memorial Day Weekend is the nation's #1 grilling weekend for #BEEF, particularly hamburgers! This week's Tasty Tuesday blog post centers around what to do with all those leftover hamburger patties. Here at the Alabama Cattlemen's Association, we suggest adding a flavorful spin on a mouthwatering classic.

What's the flavorful spin, you ask? How about combining two cultural classics- hamburgers and tacos!

Instead of putting that hamburger patty on a bun and covering it in ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles, try wrapping it up in a flour tortilla shell along with salsa, guacamole and jalapeno peppers. By doing this, you'll eat up all those leftover hamburgers while creating a fun meal experience your family will love.

The recipe this week is for Fiesta Burgers Con Queso, and it can be found at BeefItsWhatsForDinner.com. (Keep in mind that this post is a "leftovers edition," so our recipe is slightly modified. If you have raw leftover ground beef that's been stored appropriately, you can follow the exact recipe here.)

Ingredients:

pre-cooked hamburger patties
small round tortillas, warmed

Optional Toppings:

Thinly sliced lettuce
chopped tomato
avocado slices
finely chopped onion

jalapeno pepper, minced

finely chopped fresh cilantro

shredded Chihuahua cheese, divided

salsa

sour cream

guacamole

"Leftovers Edition" Modified Recipe:

1. Spread guacamole and/or sour cream evenly on a warmed tortilla.
2. Place hamburger patty in the center of the tortilla and top with salsa and other desired toppings.
3. Wrap the edges of the tortilla around the patty.
4. Enjoy!

And remember- Beef, It's What's for Dinner.
