1
Prepare the Chipotle Chili
In a saucepan, combine chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and tomato sauce. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.
2
Make the Cilantro Crema
In a small bowl, mix sour cream with chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
3
Form and Grill the Patties
In a bowl, combine ground beef with Southwest seasoning. Form into 2 equal patties. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.
4
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar jack cheese on top of each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.
5
Assemble the Burgers
Place each patty on a burger bun, spoon the chipotle chili over the top, and finish with a generous dollop of cilantro crema.
6
Serve
Serve the open-face chipotle chili burgers immediately, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
