CHILE-LIME CHICKEN BURGERS
You can use ground chicken or turkey in these burgers. The vegetables mixed into the patties keep them moist, while the cumin and crushed red pepper add just the right amount of spice. Top with lettuce, tomato and creamy avocado for an easy and satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots or onions, bell peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool for 2 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken or turkey, cilantro, the lime zest, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the cumin and crushed red pepper to the bowl with the shallots and bell peppers. Mix well with your hands until combined. Divide into 4 equal mounds and form each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
- Cook the patties until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, combine the avocado with the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Lightly smash the avocado with a fork to combine.
- Top the bottom buns with the lettuce, patties, tomato slices and mashed avocados. Close the burgers and serve.
CHILI LIME CHICKEN
This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Steps:
- Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
- Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:
- Combine chicken, green onions, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and juice of half a lime in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined, then form into 4 patties and spray each side generously with non-stick spray.
- Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill burgers for 3-4 minutes a side, or until cooked all the way through. Place a slice of cheese on top of each burger, then cover with a large pot lid, and allow to melt for about a minute. Remove burgers to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Place each burger on a toasted bun then top with guacamole.
