Tex-Mex Burger

1/4 cup corn flake crumbs
2/3 cup Old El PasoŽ Salsa
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
3/4 cup nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons Chopped Green Chilies
6 (8 to 10-inch) flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups chopped leaf lettuce

GRILL DIRECTIONS:

Heat grill. In large bowl, combine corn flake crumbs and 3 tablespoons of the salsa; mix well. Add ground beef; mix well. Shape mixture into 6 round or long, narrow (hot dog-shaped) patties, 1/2 inch thick. In small bowl, combine sour cream, green chilies and blend well. Set aside. When ready to grill, place patties on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook on open grill for 11 to 13 minutes or until burgers are thoroughly cooked, turning once. Just before burgers are done, wrap tortillas in foil; place on grill for 1 minute to heat. To serve, sprinkle 1/4 cup lettuce down center of each tortilla. Top with burgers; spoon sour cream mixture over burgers. Roll up tortillas. Serve with remaining salsa.

Note: To broil patties, place on broiler pan; broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until burgers are thoroughly cooked, turning once.
