Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced yellow onion, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined.
2
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly into a patty shape.
3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom.
4
Add the patties to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
5
While the patties are cooking, toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster.
6
Assemble the fritas by spreading a dollop of mojo sauce on the bottom bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of Swiss cheese, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Top with the top bun.
