- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 brioche burger buns
- 0.5 cup guacamole

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chipotle chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and diced jalapeño.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until evenly combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat mixture as it can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a burger patty about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to allow even cooking.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). In the final minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill to allow the cheese to melt.
Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill for about 30 seconds while the patties finish cooking.
Assemble the burgers: spread guacamole on the bottom half of each bun, then layer with a cheeseburger patty, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and pickled jalapeños. Optionally, spread sour cream and salsa on the top half of the bun before closing the burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite Tex-Mex sides like tortilla chips, elote, or a Mexican corn salad.
