Notes
Take your burgers up a notch with the kick of cayenne, chili powder and cilantro. Our family loves these burgers served with pepper jack cheese. If using a bun, go for the "thin" buns that are about 100 calories (if you are going grain free, omit these).
I wrap the "cheese" burger in a lettuce wrap and make air-fryed french fries to go with them.
*omit the cheese if past Step #6 in the detox.
