Spicy 'cheese' burgers

Method

1. Put all the ingredients for the burgers into a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper. You need to over-season the mixture by about 15%, more than usual as the mix loses a little of its power as it chills and cooks

2. Chill the mixture for 2 hours.

3.Shape into 8-10 burgers.

4. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the burgers for about 5 minutes until golden, then drain well on kitchen paper.

5. To make the salsa; mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

6. To serve, wrap each burger in a warmed tortilla, top with salsa and soured cream.
