McDonalds fakeaway Tex Mex Stack

Total
Yield 1 burger
Our final product in our Great Burgers from McDonalds range is this fakeaway takeaway - the Tex Mex Burger. It's high in syns because it has two slices of Mexicana cheese - remove that and replace with the normal cheese allowance and you'll be cooking on gas!
Ingredients
- 1 wholemeal bun (1x HeB)
- 200g 5% beef mince
- two slices of Mexicana cheese (9 syns)
- half a handful of Cool Original Dorito's (2 syns)
- 1 slice of tomato
- handful of lettuce leaves
- 1 tbsp barbecue sauce (1 syn)
Instructions
- make the burgers (see notes)
- cook the burgers (see notes)
- meanwhile, slice the bun
- add a burger and then a slice of cheese, then another burger and another slice of cheese
- place in the Doritos, followed by the tomato and lettuce leaves
- spoon the barbecue sauce over the top half of the bun and drop on top
- eat!
Notes
- a burger press will make easy work of the burgers but if you haven't got one just roll the mince into a ball and flatten into a burger shape
- you can cook the burgers however you please - we used our Tefal Optigrill on the 'burger' setting but you could use a frying pan over a high heat (spray in a little oil first), under a high grill, on a George Foreman or even on a barbecue. It's up to you!
- you'll find Mexicana cheese at nearly all supermarkets - if you can't any spicy cheese will do
- you can reduce the syns by using your Healthy Extra A choice for the cheese and adding some chilli flakes to the barbecue sauce
- don't forget - you get mince in our fantastic Muscle Food deals!
- there's no need for egg or any binders in this - the mince will hold just fine as long as you spend a few minutes giving it a good squeeze and a mix first
