Cooking Steps

Roast sweet potato wedges
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter from the fridge and set aside to come up to room temperature.
  • Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. 
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add sweet potatoes, Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp oil. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. (TIP: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.)
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 22-24 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: If using 2 baking sheets, roast in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice tomato.
  • To a small bowl, add guacamole and ranch dressing. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Form and cook patties
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • In a medium bowl, combine beef and Tex-Mex paste. 
  • Form mixture into 2 (4) 5-inch-wide patties. 
  • When the pan is hot, add patties to the dry pan. Pan-fry for 4-5 min, until browned. (NOTE: The patties will finish cooking in step 5.)
Toast buns
4
  • Meanwhile, halve buns.
  • Spread 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) softened butter on cut sides, then arrange buns on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up.
  • Toast in the bottom of the oven for 5-6 min, until golden. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
Finish patties and melt cheese
5
  • Flip patties, then sprinkle tops with cheese.
  • Cover and cook for 3-4 min, until cheese melts and patties are cooked through.**
  • Remove the pan from heat.
Finish and serve
6
  • Spread some ranch-guacamole on top and bottom buns. 
  • Stack patties, tomatoes and spinach on bottom buns. Close with top buns.
  • Divide burgers and sweet potato wedges between plates.
  • Serve any remaining ranch-guacamole alongside for dipping.

Review summary

Updated on Aug 2026
  • Flavour: The ranch-guacamole sauce was a standout favourite; the beef patties were well-seasoned and juicy with the Tex-Mex paste adding a nice depth.
  • Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this a quick and straightforward meal to pull together on a weeknight.
  • Suggestions: Some reviewers found the patties fell apart during cooking — consider adding a binding agent to help them hold their shape. To get crispier sweet potato wedges, try finishing them in an air fryer, and reduce the oven temperature slightly if the seasoning is browning too quickly. Some found the garlic blend overpowering, so adjust to taste.
  • Leftovers: Some reviewers noted the sweet potato wedges stretched nicely into a second meal the next day.
  • Portions: Several reviewers felt the sweet potato wedges were on the small side, especially for larger households; pairing with a simple side salad can help round out the meal.
