These Mexican-style cheeseburgers are pumped up with flavor from chili powder, cilantro, and jalapeno pepper. Serve on buns topped with lettuce, tomato and sour cream. It's best to use plum tomatoes inside the burger as they're less watery than other varieties. If you prefer to use fat-free cheese, you'll save about 4 grams of fat per burger.
