Seasonal Southern-Spiced Burgers

Wahlburgers' New Fiesta Burger Delivers a Taste of the Southwest

The sibling-run burger chain Wahlburgers recently debuted a new dish called the Fiesta Burger that gives consumers a chance to enjoy a taste of the Southwest this holiday season. The new burger is a seasonal offering that deviates from some of the sweeter fare served up this time of year.

The new Fiesta Burger from Wahlburgers is a limited-edition dish that delivers a spicy kick. The burger itself features a half-pound patty of freshly ground beef dusted with a scratch-made southern spice mix for a taste of true Southwestern cuisine. The patty is then topped with pepper jack cheese, jalapeños, chipotle aioli, house pickles, lettuce and a housemade sweet pepper & smoked onion salsa for an added kick.

For those who are tired of the pumpkin and cranberry-flavored offerings that permeate restaurant menus during the holidays, the Fiesta Burger is a delicious alternative.
