For the cheese sauce:

- 2 teaspoons flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the burgers:
- 2/3 pound ground beef or From Away Burger Blend
- Dash of ground cumin
- Dash of cayenne pepper
- Dash of garlic powder
- Kosher salt and ground pepper, to taste

Instructions
For the cheese sauce:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour until smooth, and cook until mixture begins to brown, about one minute. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. When mixture thickens (about 1 minute more), remove from heat, and stir in shredded cheese. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
For the burgers:
- Shape hamburger into two bun-sized patties, and season with a shake of cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Cook in a skillet over high heat to desired internal temperature. To assemble each burger, top the bottom slice of bun with a swipe of refried beans, followed by the lettuce, followed by a hamburger patty. Add cheese sauce (reheating if needed), then the avocado, jalapenos, pico de gallo, Mexican crema, and sliced black olives. Top with other half of bun, and serve immediately.
