In many Latin American countries, grilled meat is often served with chimichurri, a zesty pesto-like sauce that originated in Argentina. Made from fresh parsley, it is a source of essential nutrients and has a memorable flavour. Adding crushed corn chips instead of the usual bread crumbs gives these burgers an appealing crunch and an intriguing Latin flavour. This recipe can easily be doubled to serve 4.

Instrucciones
Preheat grill to medium. Lightly beat egg white in medium bowl. Mix in chips, salsa, garlic, onions, oregano, thyme and paprika.
Add beef and mix well. Form into 2 patties about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick.
Grill for 6 minutes per side, or until a rapid-read thermometer inserted sideways into the centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C). Spread each patty with chimichurri sauce and serve on buns.
Chimichurri Sauce: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup (125 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley and 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped. Stir in 2 tsp (10 mL) olive oil and ½ tsp (2 mL) red wine vinegar; add salt and pepper to taste.

Zinc, Part of the Beef Bonus Meat is a prime source of zinc. Zinc is also found in plant foods, but is poorly absorbed, so shying away from meat may leave you short of this mineral. This is often a problem for young women, vegetarians and the not-so-young who may need extra zinc to fulfill their dietary needs. Best known for wound healing and healthy immune functioning, zinc is a key component of about 100 enzymes so include a good food source in your meal plan.
