Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground beef (93% lean)
- 2 Jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Light hamburger buns
- 4 Reduced-fat cheese slices
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- Optional condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped jalapenos, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of reduced-fat cheese on each patty to melt slightly.
While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of each bun. Top with the cooked burger patty and cheese, then add any optional condiments of your choice. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky jalapeno burgers!
