Mexican Al Pastor Burgers

In continuing with Hispanic Heritage Month, I found this unique burger recipe.  Blogger Malcolm from Cooking and Eating From Away created an al pastor burger topped with pineapple salsa and guacamole.  Al pastor is heavily spiced pork accented with pineapple usually eaten in the form of tacos.  This burger is spicy, sweet, and rich.  I can't wait to try this recipe!
