Mango Habanero Burger Bowl with Mango Salsa
Recipes
If you've never had a burger bowl, you might think of it as the trendier, spicier cousin of the "paleo" burger or "lettuce-wrapped" burger. You can stack everything up, bite by bite, and create a salad-like experience, but with a burger patty serving as the juicy centerpiece.
While you COULD top this bad boy with anything from our new line of seven Honey Hot Sauces, Mango Habanero just makes the most sense, doesn't it? After all, this recipe does call for fresh mango chunks. The citrusy sweet-heat flavor on top of the natural mango sweetness has to be tasted to be believed.
What goes in a burger bowl?
While most folks probably wouldn't put a mango on their burger, it makes weirdly perfect sense in a burger bowl. You'll feel like you're eating a fresh summer salad and juicy burger all at once, with a bit of habanero spice to really tie things together.
Our genius friends Rob & Haley Wall actually combined two honey hot sauces to make this recipe: Hatch Chile in the burger bowl itself and Mango Habanero in the salsa. Together, they add a nice, smoky sweetness that takes this easy lunch recipe over the top.
