Burger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Build the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise mixed with lime juice on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, red onion slices, and avocado slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
