Nothing says summer like burgers. Now imagine burgers made with chicken, lime, tequila  and with a few extra yummy things added in! How could it not be good? While you have the tequila out, why not make some margarita's to sip on ! 1 kilo//2 lbs ground chicken (I ground up fresh boneless/skinless chicken breasts) 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped 4 cloves garlic minced 1 lime (juice) 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 cup panko bread crumbs 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 2 oz Tequila Mix all the ingredients together in bowl. Let flavors mingle, about an hour in the fridge. When you are ready to grill/ or pan fry, form into patties, I got about 10. When burgers are almost done, top with cheese and allow to melt.  Remove from grill/fry pan and place on toasted bun.  Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy! source

The lettuce is starting to go to seed, and all the peppers and pumpkins are now waiting for their turn to shine, once this month rolls into September.
