Cactus Jack Cristo
Ingredients:
Hamburger patty
Cornmeal jalapeño roll
Prickly Pear cactus jelly (can be found at AZ specialty shops or the airport or you can make some like we did — someone in your neighborhood is bound to have a prickly pear cactus if you don’t)
Jalapeños (julienned, battered and deep fried)
Pepper-jack cheese
Cilantro coleslaw (basically a good coleslaw with cilantro added)
To build:
The bun should be battered and fried (like a Monte Cristo). Spread jelly on both sides of the bun (Red Robin calls this coast-to-coast). Melt cheese on burger. Add fried jalapeños on top and cilantro coleslaw on the bottom.
Here’s a picture of Courtney’s burger when we built it at home:
