Equipment
- Large bowl
- Small bowl and whisk
- Barbeque (gas or charcoal)
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20
- 1/3 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 1 each jalapeno seeds and ribs removed, chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 2 tbsp onion chopped
- 2 tbsp green chiles
- ½ tsp taco seasoning
- ¼ tsp chipotle powder
- ½ each lime juice and zest
Topping/Spread
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- ½ each lime juice and zest
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 1 tbsp green chiles
- 2 tbsp salsa
Burger Toppings
- 1 each avocado
- 1 each tomato
- 4 each leafs of lettuce
- 4 each burger buns
Instructions
- Combine burger ingredients until just mixed in. Do not overmix or your burgers will be tough. Divide into 4 and form 4 patties. Be sure to indent the center. When burgers cook, they plump. Forming an indent will help ensure you don’t have bloated burgers.
- Combine topping/spread ingredients.
- Slice tomato, wash and pat dry lettuce leaves, and slice burger buns.
- Grill burgers over medium heat about 5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees.
- In the last minute or so, grill the burger buns.
- Build your burger. I like to put sauce on both sides of the bun, then the burger, tomato, avocado, and lettuce.
