    – While the patties are grilling, prepare the burger buns. Brush the lower halves of the buns with salsa sauce.
    – Place a layer of salad on top of the salsa.
    – Slice the tomato and set aside.

    5. Assemble the Burgers:

    – Once the patties are done, place them on top of the salad on the prepared buns.
    – Add one or two slices of tomato on top of the patties.

    – Drizzle some more salsa sauce over the crumbled bacon and nachos.
    – Cap the burgers with the top halves of the buns.
