This looks wonderful. I love focaccia, too, and usually drown mine in olive oil and garlic.
Now, I have the Pointer Sisters in my head!
Oh my gosh…that sounds like a great recipe! Delicious.
Holy wow! That’s so creative and oh boy – fantastick looking. I’ve been thinking about sandwiches a lot lately, particularly burgers.
Tomorrow will be a grocery shopping day – gotta make sure we get chipolte peppers. Thanks for the recipe!
The burgers look delicious! I’m a non meat eater (just fish) but was still loving that photo. I covet your focaccia.
That sounds so good and unique! I love the lime sauce on them, it looks creamy and cool! How original!
