A lump crabmeat patty gets paired with Mexican flavors in this tasty burger that takes just 15 minutes of prep time. The Latin American infusion starts by incorporating cilantro, cumin, and cayenne into the crab mixture, and it finishes off with guacamole to top it. The crisp panko breadcrumbs in the crab patties give them a light texture, and we use just enough mayonnaise to hold it all together. Toasted English muffins provide a sturdy base for the softer crab patties, but you could use a traditional hamburger bun. Add a little more cilantro along with the lettuce and tomato, if you like.
