Hoad's hot jalapeno burger
Combine the ground beef with the onions, garlic, mustard powder and Tajin clasico seasoning several hours before grilling so that it has a chance to lock in the flavor of the ingredients. A sprinkle of habanero powder in the burger balances the flavor and heat of pepper seasoning. The combination of ingredients and especially the jalapenos and habanero powder give the true burger lover mouth-watering flavor and perfect pepper temperature. Top the burger with freshly sliced avocado and jalapeno jack cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel.

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, green onions, garlic, mustard and taco seasoning. Divide the mixture and form into 4 patties. Cover and refrigerate the patties at least 1 hour to give the flavors time to marry.
Heat the grill and season both sides of each patty with habanero powder. Grill the patties on both sides to desired doneness, topping the burgers just before they are done with sliced jalapenos and cheese.
Serve the burgers in the toasted buns, garnish as desired with lettuce, avocado slices and hot sauce.
