Austin, Texas, resident Gina Wilson made this Caribbean-inspired burger at the 2005 Sutter Home Winery’s Build a Better Burger Cook-Off. “Celebrating the fresh fruits of the season,” Gina explains, “this spicy-sweet combination is the perfect summer burger recipe. The highly seasoned, moist patties have just the right amount of spicy heat, and the sweetness of the pineapple on one side of the meat and mango on the other side complements it well. The buttery mango–avocado salsa adds a nice creamy texture, and the lightly toasted jalapeño bun is perfect for this tropical version of an American tradition.” Look for jalapeño buns in the bakery section of many large supermarkets.
