Sometimes life needs a little spice! When you’re not in the mood for just a regular burger, this recipe is here to awaken your taste buds with a kick and a crunch. Chicken (or turkey) makes it a little leaner than a beef burger, so you can feel great while piling it high with flavorful pepper jack cheese, avocado, and corn chips. It’s a fiesta in every bite!
