Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle can
  • 1 poblano pepper, roasted and sliced
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 burger buns (preferably brioche or potato)
  • 4 slices Mexican cheese (Oaxaca, pepper jack, or queso fresco), optional
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed into guacamole, optional
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, optional
  • 4 lettuce leaves, optional
  • 1 tomato, sliced, optional
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced, optional
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the poblano pepper: Char over gas flame or under broiler until skin blackens on all sides (5-7 minutes). Place in paper bag for 10 minutes, then peel skin and slice.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Form into patties slightly larger than your buns, pressing your thumb in the center to create a dimple.
  4. Preheat grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on first side without disturbing.
  6. Flip once and cook an additional 4-5 minutes for medium doneness (internal temperature of 160°F).
  7. During the last minute, add cheese if desired and place split buns cut-side down to toast until golden.
  8. Let burgers rest for 2-3 minutes before assembling.
  9. Layer bottom bun with desired toppings, burger patty, roasted poblano strips, and additional toppings. Top with upper bun and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For milder burgers, remove seeds from chipotles before mincing.
  • Prep patties up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate for more developed flavor.
  • The dimple in the center prevents burgers from puffing up during cooking.
  • Patties can be frozen raw for up to 3 months – cook directly from frozen, adding 2 minutes per side.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
