Green Chile Burger Recipe

Green Chile Burger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chiles

   Roast the fresh green chiles over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are blackened and blistered. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes to steam. Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove the seeds, and chop them finely.

2. 2

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped roasted green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

3. 3

   Form the Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

4. 4

   Cook the Patties

   Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. About a minute before they are done, place a slice of Tillamook cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of tomato and onion, then close with the top half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a salad.
