5. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty to melt.
6. Toast the buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers: Place lettuce or arugula on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy patty.
8. Top with a grilled pineapple ring, a generous scoop of peach-mango salsa, and optional pickled red onions or bacon.
