Bun and Sides

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the Angus ground beef, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1 inch thick.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or 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.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the cheese blend on top of each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the brioche buns until golden brown on the inside.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place the cheese-covered patty, followed by sliced red onion, diced spicy green chili, and jalapeño crisps. Top with the other half of the bun.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the New Mexico Burger with a side of tortilla chips.
