Making Southwest Burrito Burgers, formerly know as Ground Chicken Burritos

So its actually called Southwest Burrito Burgers, who knew?
Annnyway, here's the recipes!

1lb ground chicken
1/2 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
1/4 cup salsa
4 (10-in) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup guacamole (optional)
1/2 cup shredded taco-flavored cheese (the Mexican style works well too)
1/2 cup salsa

(serves 4, double as necessary)

In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, tortilla chips and 1/4 cup salsa; mix well. Shape mixture into four 4-inch-long oval patties. When ready, place patties on broiler pan; broil 4-6 inches from heat for 10-15 minutes or until meat isn't pink. Turn once, half-way through.

*Now, the recipe wants you to place a foil packet of tortillas on the broiler as well, but I found it more effective to just microwave them to get them warm.

After the patties are done and the tortillas warm/soft, put lettuce on the center of each tortilla, top it with the patty, cheese and guacamole if desired. I also added the extra sauce directly into the burrito, instead of using it as a dipping sauce or topping.

yummy! of course mine didn't look nearly as good.
