Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped oregano leaves, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper

Mix well

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking

Grill the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness

During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and close the grill to melt the cheese

While the burgers are grilling, prepare the spicy mayo sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and honey

Stir until well combined

Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the spicy mayo sauce on the bottom half of each hamburger bun

Place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on top of the sauce

Add the cheesy burger patty on top of the veggies

Complete the burger with the top half of the bun

Serve immediately, and enjoy your Marcela's Spicy Oregano Burgers!
