What do you do with the Queso Fresco Cheese? The recipe calls for it but what do you do with it. Does it go on the Burger during the grilling.

Made this for dinner today. I forgot to buy the queso fresco cheese so I used Montery Jack instead as that was what I had on had. I also made the flour torillas from Melissa D’Arabian. It was great. I cooked it on the George Foreman grill since it is cold here.
We had this burger yesterday…and we’re having it again today! Unheard of in my house. The flavors and combination of them are just fabulous! cjs
amazing…would be great as a meatloaf as well
I was bored with having the same burgers over and over again so I tried this one out because it appealed the most to me. It was excellent and very satisfying.
I did change one step. Instead of putting the black beans in the burger I added it to the corn mixture. This burger recipe is a keeper and I’ll make it over and over again.
I didn’t have any adobo sauce, and I used frozen corn instead of corn on the cob and it was still so yummy!! I loved it, and so did my husband and son. DO NOT make this without the corn salsa or the cheese!! The corn salsa is what makes this! The blend of the spices and the corn salsa is heavenly! We will be making this often, especially when grilling season gets here!
This burger was so good and juicy. My family loved it. I will for sure be keeping this in my recipe box.
We tried the burger and I must say it is not your everyday burger, It is better, You have a winner of a recipe here! I enjoyed your show; you along with all the competitors did a marvelous job! The balance of flavor was brillant in your burger! I grilled the ones I made and it just brought out the flavor even more. This is a 5 star burger!

I watched the show and tried this burger showdown recipe first and was I glad I did. My sister and husband had seconds and said they can’t wait until I make it again (which will be soon). I have found myself thinking of the spectacular flavors involved in this dish and can only say the she did a wonderful job. I highly recommend this burger recipe and have already made copies for friends to try.
