bloody mary chipotle burger

Tomorrow, we feast.

And sip.

And feast some more.

Tomorrow, there will be an abundance of tortilla chips, fire roasted salsas, chunky guacamole, crunchy tacos, stuffed burritos, and let’s not forget about the most important, cerveza! I’m talking about a little holiday called Cinco de Mayo. I realize there is A LOT more depth to said holiday, but today, we are sticking to just the flavors!

As someone that enjoys the ceremony of sipping a Blood Mary on the weekend, I figured there must be another way to enjoy the flavors of this famous cocktail. Well, with a little help from my Muir Glen friends, I’ve put together a slamming, spicy burger fit for Cinco de Mayo or the weekend!

This Bloody Mary Chipotle Burger contains the usual cocktail ingredient suspects – horseradish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, celery salt, pepper, and Tabasco. But what makes this burger too legit to quit is the addition of my favorite tomato sauce from Muir Glen and spicy kick from chipotles. It’s like a tomato-y Ole in your mouth!

Whether your weekend is starting tomorrow or just celebrating a food filled fun holiday, this Blood Mary Chipotle Burger needs to be actioned. Don’t you want to have your booze and eat it too? Thought so.
