1
Prepare the patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced chile, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into burger patties.
2
Cook the patties
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
3
Add cheese
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt.
4
Assemble the burgers
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Top with sliced onions and shredded lettuce. Place the top half of the bun over the toppings.
5
Serve
Serve the Fiesta Burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
