Chipotle Cheeseburger

The Chipotle Cheeseburger combines the juicy richness of a cheeseburger with the smoky, spicy flavors of chipotle, creating a delightful fusion of Mexican and American cuisine. Topped with fresh avocado and cilantro, this burger is a savory treat that packs a punch in every bite.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (kosher) - 400 grams
• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 2 peppers, minced
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cheddar cheese (kosher) - 2 slices
• Burger buns (kosher) - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Lime - 1, juiced

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, followed by lettuce, the cheese-topped patty, slices of avocado, tomato, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
7. Squeeze lime juice over the top and place the other half of the bun on top. Serve immediately.
