1
Prepare the Jalapenos
Slice the jalapenos into rings and remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
2
Fry the Jalapenos
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the jalapeno rings and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Prepare the Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form into four equal patties.
4
Cook the Burgers
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, adding a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
5
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread spicy mayo on the bottom bun, place the cheesy patty on top, add the fried jalapenos, and finish with the top bun.
