Burger Ingredients

Chipotle Mayo Ingredients

Roasted Vegetables Ingredients

Method

Chipotle Mayo Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chipotle Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and lime juice. Mix well until fully blended. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Roasting Vegetables

  1. 2

    Roast the Poblano and Red Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the poblano and red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes to steam. Once cooled, peel off the skins and slice the peppers into strips.

Burger Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 4

    Cook the Burger Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt.

  3. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of the chipotle mayo on the bottom bun. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by roasted poblano and red pepper strips. Top with the other half of the bun and serve.
