Chipotle Cheeseburger

A burger with a fiery twist! The classic cheeseburger gets a tasty update with the addition of GOYA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce. These chipotle chiles are jalapeno peppers that have been dried, smoked, and then packed in a flavorful sauce made of tomatoes and other spices. Here, we add these special peppers twice--first to the mayonnaise, which gets spread on the buns, and then mixed into the meat before its grilled. And don't skip the red onions and tomatoes: they add a sweet, crisp bite.

• Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 6 hamburger buns
• 6 slices Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
• ¼ cup Goya Mayonnaise
• ¼ cup sauce from a can of Goya Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Goya Minced Garlic, divided
• Goya Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning, to taste
• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Goya Vegetable Oil
• 6 (1/4 inch thick) slices red onions
• 6 (1/2 inch thick) slices tomatoes
• 6 lettuce leaves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. chipotle sauce, 1 tsp. garlic, cilantro and adobo; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 2

In large bowl, gently mix together beef, chopped chipotle, 3 tbsp. chipotle sauce, remaining garlic and adobo until combined. Divide meat into 6 portions; form into 1 inch-thick patties. (Take care not to over-handle meat or else it will toughen).

Step 3

Prepare grill to medium-high heat, grease with oil (or heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat). Cook burgers, flipping once, until charred and cooked to desired doneness (about 12 minutes total for medium rare). Add cheese to patties about 5 minutes before taking them off grill.

Step 4

To assemble, divide patties evenly among bottom buns; top with onion slice, tomato slice, lettuce and top bun spread with reserved chipotle mayonnaise.
