Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Smoked Poblano Aioli

    Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or in a broiler until charred. Once cooled, peel and remove seeds. Blend the smoked poblano with mayonnaise until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions, forming each into an 8 oz patty. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. During the last minute of cooking, place slices of Chihuahua cheese on top of the patties to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom bun, spread a generous amount of smoked poblano aioli, add the lettuce, tomato slices, and avocado slices. Place the cheeseburger patty on top, then top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the El Vez Burger hot with your choice of sides.
