Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Begin by making the green chile salsa: Place the chiles on a roasting tray with the garlic and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper and cumin and then place under the broiler to cook, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the skins have blistered and the onions have slightly charred around the edges, remove from the oven. Let cool slightly, then remove and discard the skins of the large chiles, along with the seeds and stems. Place the chile flesh, onions and garlic in a food processor. Add the lime juice and pulse 5 to 6 times to roughly chop the vegetables up; do not over chop as you want the salsa to be chunky and still have lots of texture where you can see pieces of the chile. Taste and season once more, then set aside as you prepare the burgers.
- For the burgers: Preheat an outdoor grill and wipe down the grates with an oil-blotted paper towel. This not only cleans the grill but creates a nonstick surface.
- Form the ground brisket into four 8-ounce patties about 1/2-inch thick. Make them slightly bigger in diameter than your buns, as they shrink when they cook. Also, add a dimple in the center as the burger puffs up in the middle when cooked, and this will ensure a flat, even patty. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, and then place on the hot part of the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on one side, then flip the patties and top with the cheese. Close the grill or place a metal bowl over the top to melt the cheese and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Cut open the hamburger buns and lightly toast on the grill.
- To assemble, place the lettuce, onion and tomato on the base of the burger bun. Top with a grilled patty and place a heaping spoonful of roasted green chile salsa on top. Smear the top burger bun with mayo, if desired, and place the top half of the burger bun on top. Serve.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the serrano, Cubanelle and poblano peppers, turning, until charred all over, 6 minutes for the serrano, 8 minutes for the Cubanelle, and 10 to 12 minutes for the poblano. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop all the peppers.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook, stirring, until the cumin is toasted, about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, the grilled peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer over medium heat until most of the liquid has cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and season with salt.
- Form the ground beef into 8 patties, about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates. Grill the burgers over medium-high heat, 3 to 31/2 minutes per side for medium rare; top each with a slice of cheese after flipping and cover to melt. Toast the buns cut-side down, about 30 seconds.
- Spread some mayonnaise and barbecue sauce on the buns. Serve the patties on the buns with lettuce, sliced onion and the grilled chile salsa.

Tips for Making the Best Cheeseburgers with Charred Green Chiles and Onions:
- Use fresh, high-quality ground beef. An 80/20 blend of ground chuck and ground sirloin is a good option.
- Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Form the beef into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
- Cook the patties over medium-high heat until they are cooked to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare burger, cook for about 3 minutes per side. For a medium burger, cook for about 4 minutes per side. For a medium-well burger, cook for about 5 minutes per side.
- Char the green chiles and onions. To do this, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green chiles and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are charred and slightly softened.
- Top the burgers with the charred green chiles and onions. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
- Serve the burgers immediately.
