Cuban Hamburger Recipe (Frita Cubana)

My version of a Cuban style hamburger. It includes the spice mixture for the meat, a really good mojo and the traditional cooking technique. Enjoy!

When I used lived in Miami I ate Cuban burgers everyday or so. yum!
love the crunch of the shoestring potatoes and I love bacon and cheese on them!

I agree with those who say it has more Mexican flavor. I'm American, of Cuban heritage and love a burger. But I will choose a good Cuban frita every time. The chorizo gives it a delicious kick n the potato stix on top is the icing. Mexican flavor has indian influence, alot of corn and heat.  Cuban food is more like Spanish with a hint of the tropics.

Thank you Angie! I really loved this one. The mojo had such a nice tang to it, and the crispy potatoes were killer!

[BallisticBBQ]

It is worth it! You'll dig this one!

The burgers with a big hit. The potatoes with the the onion really, really made these burgers!

I always enjoy your burger videos. Never know for sure what direction they're heading, but it's always going to be good. This looks like a killer burger!

[BallisticBBQ]

Thank you for the suggestion! I actually owned one a while back, and you're right. It works very good!

Damn, damn, damn, thats a damn great burger! Every year theres a burger cook off for Fathers day where I live and I've been stock piling ideas for a winning burger. I think that a mojo mayo and fried shoe string potatoes is something relatable and nothing theyve ever seen around here. Thanks for the inspiration.

WOW! That looks like one hell of a tasty burger! I bet the flavors and ingredients exploded in your mouth when you took that bite. I gotta try making this one sometime.

[MissMNM]

I make my mom's traditional Cuban fritas all the time. Let me tell you, I like how you gave it your own special touch. I will most def be trying your version. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Rusty! I really enjoyed this one... My wife told me she wants me to put those potatoes all of her burgers!

[BallisticBBQ]

There is a Cuban restaurant here that we can check out Dan. I saw these things on a show called, "Hamburger Land". Great show! I'm not sure if they have the burgers at the place down here. I guess they're really popular in Miami. We need to coordinate if you're gonna' make it down this way. I'm out of town the last week of June.
