Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into 4 equal patties.

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach desired doneness.

Caramelized Onions

    Slice the onion and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt, cooking until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

Grilled Poblanos

  1. 4

    Grill the Poblanos

    Brush the whole poblano peppers with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill until charred and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove skin and slice.

Chipotle Aioli

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, and lime juice until well combined. Set aside.

Queso Fundido

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned. Stir in diced poblano pepper and Monterey Jack cheese until melted and bubbly.

Assembly

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns, then spread chipotle aioli on the bottom bun. Add the grilled beef patty, followed by caramelized onions, grilled poblanos, tomato slices, and a generous serving of queso fundido on top. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
