Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste. Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of pepper-jack cheese on each burger patty to allow it to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, diced green chilies, tomato slices, onion slices, and a generous drizzle of chipotle ranch. Top with the other half of the bun.
