Chili Verde Burger

The Chili Verde Burger is a deliciously zesty fusion of traditional Mexican flavors and American comfort food, featuring juicy grilled beef patties topped with a vibrant tomatillo salsa. This kosher burger is perfect for a unique dinner or a weekend barbecue.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams (80/20 blend)
• Kosher salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Tomatillos - 200 grams, husked and quartered
• Fresh cilantro - 30 grams, chopped
• Jalapeño - 1, seeds removed and finely chopped
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Kosher burger buns - 2
• Pepper jack cheese - 2 slices
• Romaine lettuce - 2 leaves

Steps

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into two equal patties.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice to create the chili verde salsa. Mix well and set aside.
4. Grill the beef patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.
5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the kosher burger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a few slices of avocado, a generous spoonful of chili verde salsa, and a leaf of romaine lettuce. Cap with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chili Verde Burgers.
