Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 2 cups Potato sticks (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 pieces Soft hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup White onion, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup and white vinegar to create a tangy sauce. Set aside for later use.

Step 4

Preheat your Nuwave Flavorwave oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the patties on the Nuwave's rack, ensuring they aren't touching. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the hamburger buns until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

To assemble the Frita Cubana, place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Top each patty with a generous amount of the tangy ketchup sauce, a handful of potato sticks, and a sprinkling of finely chopped white onion.

Step 7

Place the top bun on each burger, pressing down gently to help everything hold together.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Frita Cubana!
