Grill, bake or fry the margarita burgers until done and 160 degrees internally.

Make burger mayo by combining 1 cup mayo with lime zest, lime juice, salt and sugar. If these are for adults only you can add 1 tps of Tequila to the mayo. Put covered in refrigerator until margarita hamburgers are ready.

Shut off grill and sprinkle the margarita burgers with ½ cup Italian cheese blend and let melt. Warm the bun halves on grill while waiting for cheese to melt.
