1
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions (8 ounces each) and shape them into patties. Season with salt and black pepper.
3
Grill the Patties
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each patty to melt.
4
Toast the Buns
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
5
Assemble the Burger
Spread chipotle crema on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheese-topped patty on top, followed by crispy bacon, onion rings, and a generous scoop of guacamole. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serve
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your Tex Mex Burger!
