Recipe Swap: Cuban Burger

I have always loved sharing recipes with others so when I heard about this recipe swap I was excited to participate. The theme this time was burgers and sandwiches and I was assigned the Cuban burger from Cheese Curd in Paradise. I loved this recipe. The flavors were super fresh and the burgers took no time at all to prepare. Plus, I pretty much love anything that includes lime. I did forget to turn on my broiler so I didn't get my cheese melted, but I will definitely remember that for next time. Because...there will be a next time!
