My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.

Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 burgers
- 1lb lean ground bison (OR your choice of protein)
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced
- 3 tablespoons enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 2 teaspoons onion powder (optional)
- pinch of sea salt & pepper
- Garnish
- 4 slices cheddar (optional…but recommended. What are enchiladas without cheese?)
- lettuce
- tomato
- onion
Steps
- Fire up the grill! Alternatively, you can set your oven to 420F or cook these in a nonstick skillet.
- Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Once thoroughly mixed, divide into 4 equal sized patties.
- Cook the patties on the grill until your desired readiness and BE SURE to cook on both sides. If you’re cooking these in a skillet, set it on medium-high heat and once hot, spray with a little oil then add the patties. Cook on each side for at least 4 minutes and be careful to monitor so the meat does not burn. When the meat is nearly finished cooking, add a slice of cheddar on top (if desired) and continue cooking for the remaining time.
- Enjoy on whole wheat burger buns along with lettuce, tomato (and a little cheese). For a low-carb option, use grilled portobello mushroom caps!
