Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Caramelized Onions

    Slice the onion thinly and sauté in a pan over medium heat with a bit of oil until golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Burger Patties

    Form the ground beef into two patties and season with salt and pepper. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Chihuahua cheese on each patty to melt.

  3. 3

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are grilling, place the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until toasted.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread chipotle aioli on the bottom bun, place the grilled patty with melted cheese on top, add caramelized onions, sliced avocado, lettuce, sliced tomato, and sliced red jalapeño. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    Cook the fries according to package instructions or fry them until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burger with a side of fries.
