Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 2 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese slices
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 0.75 cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork along with the chopped chipotle peppers, minced garlic, onion powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Using your thumb, create a small indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the burger patties for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and let it melt.
While the burgers are grilling, split the hamburger buns and brush the cut sides lightly with melted butter. Toast the buns on the grill until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and lime juice together to make a tangy spread.
To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of the lime mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a grilled patty with melted cheese, followed by a few slices of avocado and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides and enjoy your Mexican Grilled Hamburgers!
