Ingredients
1½lbsground beef
⅓cuponion,grated
4chipotle peppers in adobo,plus 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce, minced
1tspkosher salt
1tspground cumin
1tspblack pepper
6hamburger buns
6jack cheese slices
2avocados,sliced
chipotle hot sauce,to taste
⅓cupcilantro,chopped, for garnish
Preparation
Mix the ground beef, grated onion, minced chipotles, the adobo sauce, salt, cumin, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Mix gently, just until the ingredients are combined.
Form 4 to 6 patties from the burger mix, about ¼ pound to ⅓ pound each. Press a shallow indent in the middle of the patties to keep the burgers from puffing up while grilling.
Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat grilling.
Lay the burgers on the grill and cook with the lid down for 6 to 7 minutes. Raise the lid, flip the burgers, and continue grilling with the lid down for another 6 to 7 minutes, depending on the grill and preference.
Cook until the internal temperature is 140 degrees F for medium-rare or 160 degrees F for well done.
When the burgers are almost ready, place a slice of jack cheese on each patty and close the grill lid. The cheese should melt in a little over 1 minute.
When the burgers are ready, place them on the buns. Top with slices of avocado, a little cilantro, and hot sauce.
Serve and enjoy.
