Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Burger Patties

In a bowl, combine the ground beef and diced green chiles. Mix until well combined and form into two equal-sized patties.

2

Cook the Burgers

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

3

Add Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each patty to melt.

4

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of the burger bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, pickles, onion, and tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.

5

Serve

Serve the burger with a side of salsa for dipping.
