I did not use cilantro because I am allergic to it. (Found that out the hard way.) And the salsa was a bit hot for me, but still good. I liked the burgers a lot! I think next time I will make the burgers as burgers with a bun and put the toppings on it that way. But this is a keeper and I will make it again.
