Mexican cuisine is known for its bold and spicy flavors, and these Mexican pork burgers are no exception. The combination of cumin, chili powder, and oregano gives the burgers a unique and delicious flavor, while the ground pork keeps them juicy and tender. These burgers are perfect for grilling on a hot summer day, and can be customized with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or jalapenos. Serve them up with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a balanced and satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.	Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, black pepper, salt, ground cumin, oregano, seasoning salt, and chili powder. Mix until well combined.
3.	Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball to form a patty shape.
4.	Place the patties on the grill or grill pan, and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
5.	Serve immediately on a bun with your desired toppings.
