Steps:

In a blender or food processor add mayonnaise, habanero pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth for spicy mayo.
Meanwhile, form ground chuck into 4 patties. (Each patty should be 1/2 pound.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat using a griddle or grill. (For a medium burger, cook 4 minutes per side.) Transfer to a plate.
Add onions and bell peppers to hot griddle or grill and cook until cooked through, 3 minutes.
Toast buns until browned.
Put a spoon of spicy mayo on each bun. Add lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and grilled bell peppers. Top with patties, then add 1/4 cup Monterrey Jack to each.
