Preheat greased grill to medium-high heat.
Mix meat, 3 tablespoons of the Mayo and the seasoning mix; shape into 12 thin patties.
Combine cheese with 2 tablespoons salsa.
Spoon over 6 of the patties.
Cover each with one of the remaining patties, making a 'sandwich', pinching edges together to seal.
