Steps:
- Mix the crema, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Combine the beef with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Divide the mixture into 8 equal-size balls.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Smash 4 of the beef balls into very thin patties. Add the patties to the skillet and cook, smashing them even more with a spatula, until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, top each with a slice of cheese and cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese melts, about 2 more minutes for medium doneness. Wipe out the skillet, lightly coat with more cooking spray and repeat with the remaining beef and cheese to make 4 more patties.
- Spread the crema mixture on the cut sides of the rolls. Place 2 patties in each roll with the salsa, lettuce, avocado and radishes. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with the vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Toss the avocado and lime juice in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread the refried beans on the bun bottoms, then top with the burger patties, cheese, avocado, pickled jalapenos and lettuce. Cover with the bun tops.
