Time 27m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 teaspoons chipotles in adobo sauce (recommended: La Victoria)
3/4 cup mayonnaise (recommended: Best Foods)
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 tablespoons Tex-Mex chili seasoning (recommended: McCormick's)
2 teaspoons chipotles in adobo sauce (recommended: La Victoria)
1/4 cup beer of choice
Salt and pepper
2 slices pepper Jack cheese (recommended: Tillamook)
Hamburger buns, toasted
Lettuce, tomatoes, onions
Sliced avocado, optional

Steps:

  • For the chipotle mayonnaise: Remove peppers from can (you may want to use rubber gloves if sensitive to peppers). Carefully split open and scrape out seeds. Finely chop peppers; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped chipotle peppers and mayonnaise; set aside covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • For the burgers: In a mixing bowl, stir to combine ground beef, chili seasoning, 2 teaspoons chopped chipotles, and beer. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape into 4 patties slightly larger than the buns; set aside covered in refrigerator if not cooking immediately.
  • Set up grill for direct cooking over high heat. Brush and oil grill before cooking.
  • Season burgers with salt and pepper and place on hot oiled grill. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Place cheese slices on burgers 2 to 3 minutes before burgers are done.
  • Serve hot on toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced avocado, if desired, and a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise.
  • INDOOR: Follow instructions for preparing burgers. Preheat broiler. Place burgers on wire rack over foil-lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil 6 inches from heat source for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Place cheese slices on burger 1 to 2 minutes before done. Serve hot on toasted bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, sliced avocado (if desired), and a dollop of chipotle mayonnaise.
