Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To a medium bowl, add mango, avocado, cilantro, red onion, jalapeno and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Stir gently; cover and chill until serving. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, orange juice, remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice and garlic; cover and chill until serving. To make patties, combine ground beef, achiote paste, Sauvignon Blanc, honey, cumin and salt in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions; form into patties. When grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the grill rack, cover and cook, turning once, until done, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. During last two minutes of cooking, place rolls cut side down on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly. To assemble, spread cut sides of rolls generously with citrus aioli. Top roll bottoms with patties. Top patties evenly with tropical salsa, add roll tops and serve. Makes 6 burgers
