    2 x maverick burgers patties

    1 slice of beef tomato 

    4 red onion slices 

    4 spoons Queso dip - see recipe below

    1 baby gem leaf, shredded  

    2 tbsp corn salsa - see recipe below

     

    Corn salsa:

    1 tbsp of lime juice, or to taste

    2 tbsp of olive oil

    2 corn cobs 

    1 jalapeño, with the seeds removed and diced

    ½ tbsp of olive oil

    ¼ tsp of salt, or to taste.

    Ground black pepper, to taste.

     

    Queso Sauce:

    225g cheddar cheese, grated

    1 tbsp cornflour

    ½ tbsp butter

    1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

    1/4 small white onion, very finely chopped

    375g evaporated milk

    1 small tomato, finely diced

    2 tsp smoked paprika

    ¼ tsp each onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin

    100g chopped pickled green jalapeno

    200ml milk

    Salt

    Pepper

     

    Method:

    Start by making the corn salsa. Char the two corn cobs over a gas hob or in a dry pan till they are black on all sides. Once cooked and charred, cut off all the kernals with a knife and transfer them to a bowl.

    Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice (or adjust to your preference), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 diced jalapeño with seeds removed. Drizzle the ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture. Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt (or to taste) and ground black pepper to taste. Mix well 

    To make the Queso sauce, take a medium-sized bowl and toss the shredded cheese with the cornflour until it's evenly coated. This will help thicken the sauce later

    Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and finely chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

    Pour the evaporated milk into the saucepan, stirring continuously.

    Gradually add the cheese and cornflour mixture, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce begins to thicken.

    Stir in the finely diced tomato, ensuring it is integrated thoroughly. Then, add the onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and the chopped jalapenos. Continue cooking and stirring until everything is well combined.

    Add milk to the cheese mixture to achieve the desired consistency. Stir well and then keep warm until you are ready to build your burger.

    Cook the two Maverick burger patties on a griddle or pan to your liking. Once the patties are cooked, toast the three buns on the same griddle or frying pan or in the oven.

    Now to build your epic burger! Start with the first base bun add a baby gem lettuce leaf and the onion slices then put a pattie on top with a slice of tomato and a good dollop of Queso sauce. Then add the next base bun and repeat the process, top with the bun top and enjoy the naughtiest burger ever!
