TACO BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE



Taco Burgers With Chipotle Mayonnaise image

Another variation of the classic hamburger! It goes on and on! This will become one of your favorites.Chop up some jalapeños for those with the cast iron stomach. Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapeños. They usually come in cans and have a vinegar based sauce. You can omit the egg if you serve your meat rare or medium-rare.Ole'.To add as note re: the burger patties not holding together, after reviewing all of the reviews, it is my descision not to change the recipe. I make these often and have never had the problem. If recipes like meatloaf, etc.and this one don't hold together, more breadcrumbs are needed. If too dry, add some more liquid such a a few drops of water.

CHIPOTLE BURGERS



Chipotle Burgers image

Categories     Sandwich     Beef     Onion     Pepper     Quick & Easy     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo, including sauce
1 lb ground beef chuck
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
4 English muffins or hamburger buns, halved horizontally

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.
  • Meanwhile, open any whole chipotles and discard seeds, then mince chipotles.
  • Mix chipotles (with sauce), beef, onion, and salt with your hands, then form mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties.
  • Grill burgers on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill English muffins, cut sides down, until grill marks appear, about 30 seconds. Serve burgers in English muffins.
  • Grilling Procedure
  • If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
  • Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
  • Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
  • Low: 5 to 6 seconds
  • If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.

Tips:

  • For a smoky flavor, use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
  • For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the chipotle peppers before using.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by mixing chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • You can use any type of ground beef for this recipe, but 80/20 ground beef is a good option because it has a good balance of fat and lean meat.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat so that they have a chance to develop a nice crust.
  • Don't overcook the burgers, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun with a side of fries or onion rings.

Conclusion:

This chipotle taco burger is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of smoky chipotle peppers, flavorful taco seasoning, and juicy ground beef makes for a burger that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new burger recipe, give this one a try!
