The spice mixture typically includes allspice, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, and onions. The burgers are quick to prepare and easy to customize to your desired level of spiciness. You can serve them with traditional hamburger toppings or add a Caribbean twist with tropical toppings and flavors.
