Nothing says picnic like a good burger.
These burgers will be a hit at your summer gathering. Each patty is speckled with cheese and parsley and wrapped in a soft homemade shell. They are best served with classic baked beans. I prepared mine with some exotic spices for a twist!

- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley - chopped
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
For the Beans:
- Heat a frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil; add the onions and brown sugar and sauté until the onions are soft and transparent.
- Heat a small frying pan and grill the jalapeño.
- Heat a large frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil; add the garlic and parsley and sauté until the garlic is fragrant; add the onions with brown sugar, chopped jalapeño and the baked beans; add the spices and simmer on low.
For the Burgers:
- Cube the beef and place in a food processor and chop.
- Place the meat in a bowl and add the shredded cheese, garlic, parsley and Worcestershire sauce and mix.
- Form the meat into desired sized burgers.
- Heat a cast iron frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil; do not over crowd the pan. Sauté the burgers until a nice char is reached on one side then flip and finish cooking. Let the burgers cook until they reach the doneness you desire; rare, medium or well done. The amount of time it takes to cook the burgers depends on how large you make the burgers.
For the Wraps:
- Place the flour in a bowl; add all the dry ingredients and the parsley and toss.
- Add the olive oil and stir; slowly add the warm water until the dough comes together.
- Knead 2 or 3 times in the bowl.
- Flour a clean surface and place the dough on the surface. Cut the dough into four pieces and form balls and cut the balls in half and form balls.
- Roll out as thin as possible but still manageable.
- Place on a hot griddle. When bubbles form, flip and finish cooking.
Build Your Burger:
- Place the wrap on the plate, top with the lettuce, then beans, then tomato and finally the burger. Garnish with your favorite condiment.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes
Enjoy with Love!
