Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 cup Chipotle mayo
- 0.25 cup Guacamole
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato slices
- 12 pieces Pickled jalapeño slices
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Red onion slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty to prevent swelling during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Brush it lightly with vegetable oil.
Cook the patties on the skillet or grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the same skillet or grill for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.
Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on the bottom bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a red onion slice.
Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
Add three pickled jalapeño slices to each burger, followed by a spoonful of guacamole.
Spread a thin layer of chipotle mayo on the top bun and place it on the burger to finish assembling.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, like fries or a salad, and enjoy your Mexi Whopper Burger!
