Patty Ingredients

Toppings

Bun

Method

Preparing the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a layer of lettuce, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, pickled jalapeños, slices of tomato, and avocado. Drizzle BBQ sauce over the top before placing the top half of the bun.
