Bryce’s Jalapeno Burgers…
60 Day Challenge - Day 53
Yoga Dude gave us this recipe over the holidays - these burgers are outstanding and easy to make! Tweak the recipe to suit your tastes.
Jalapeno Burgers:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
4 small jalapenos, seeded and chopped finely
1 shallot, chopped
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. cumin
2 tsp. chili powder
Salt/pepper to taste
Cooked strips of bacon for a topper
Head of purple cabbage - peel off large leaves and steam - these are the "buns" for the burgers.
Mix all of the ingredients together and form burgers. We grilled ours but you could cook them on the stovetop. I also mixed up a green salad with balsamic vinegar and put the salad on top of the burgers...delicious!

Yep - that is bacon on top!

I have to say that was one of, if not the best burger ever…thanks, Yoga Dude.
Great post on marksdailyapple.com today about inflammation.

Sounds slightly delicious. Little avocado on top too maybe..MMMMM.
Helen: 12:16, WAY off my PR. But it was the first time I’d run in over a month, and I’m still getting used to Whole30. And it was cold. Sorry, I’d have some cheese with my whine if it wasn’t outlawed in my diet…

Hmm. Helen. I was not impressed/proud of my time today: 17:07. I don’t know why, but I feel like maybe I just wasn’t feeling it? It just didn’t feel like a “good” workout. I felt struggling the whole time. Maybe if I had used a 20lb bell instead of the 35 I would have felt better, but I Rx’d the KB. However, I did feel a lot more efficient with PU’s today, even though I used less band help than I did the last time we did PU’s.
Oh my how I love a tasty burger. I like Daron’s suggestion of avocado. In my opinion, bacon & avocado make just about everything better.

I am never opposed to avocado - avocado+bacon=perfection! Kinsey - Helen will do that to you so don’t focus on it too much - there’s always another WOD waiting in the wings that you’ll rock!

Note the existence of bacon-wrapped avocado (which, sadly, I have not sampled yet) as a meal/snack option!

The problem with Helen is the 3rd round…if it were just 2 rounds it would be much better…and if it were just 1 round I could crush it…and whine is paleo as far as I’m concerned…

Ow. 13:04- completely modified Helen (as if she’s needs plastic surgery) thanks to my horrendously busted up leg. Still, rowed, blue band, 35# and very few tears.

Avocado is like nature’s butter. I heard somewhere that there is a bacon of the month club. That warrants further investigation.

Helen highly modified based on a plethora of (all on the mend) injuries…
3 rnds: 30 double unders/12 KBS 1.5 pd/6 pullup - 6:02, not so impressive with the double unders
Josh - great work! a very respectable time for this WOD!
those last pullups seem like they take forever and I witnessed a few instances of over 2 min to finish the last round of pullups tonight…
that is a tough workout and hard to make easier or faster once RX
great job everyone in the 5:30 class tonight and all the new faces…keep it up!

Thanks B-vo,
What injuries did Xmas cause?
Cheers
