Ingredients for Green Chile Burger

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground sirloin, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and form into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burger

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and browned.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Base

    While the burgers are cooking, warm the tortillas, french bread, or sopaipillas in a separate pan or microwave.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place each cheese-topped burger patty on a piece of tortilla, bread, or sopaipilla. Serve with a side of beans, rice, potato salad, and cole slaw.
