THROWDOWN'S GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGERS



Throwdown's Green Chile Cheeseburgers image

In New Mexico, the state vegetable is the chile pepper, where they're layered atop beef for an iconic dish: the Green Chile Cheeseburger. Sometimes topping the Scoville chart, and sometimes mildly spicy, these burgers are defined by a relish of mixed chiles and a handsome dose of melted cheese. Bobby's recipe has poblano, Hatch and serrano chiles with honey and red wine vinegar to balance. Pickled red onions add tang, and a Monterey Jack-Parmesan queso sauce brings it home with creamy rich flavor.

Time 5h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
12 ounces Chihuahua or Monterey jack cheese, coarsely grated
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium poblano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
2 Hatch chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
12 blue or yellow corn tortilla chips, coarsely crushed

Steps:

  • Burgers:
  • For the queso sauce:
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, increase the heat to high and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese until melted; add the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.
  • For the relish:
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the pickled red onions:
  • Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Put the onions in a medium bowl, pour the vinegar over, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours before serving.
  • For the burgers:
  • Heat a griddle or large saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat until it begins to shimmer.
  • Shape the ground beef with your hands into 4 round patties about 1 1/2 inches thick and season each burger on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium, about 8 minutes.
  • Put the burgers on the buns and top each with a few tablespoons of the queso sauce, relish, onions and chips.

GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGERS



Green Chile Cheeseburgers image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 serrano chiles
2 Anaheim chiles
2 poblano chiles
1 Vidalia onion, peeled and roughly chopped
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of 1 lime
Canola oil, for grilling
2 pounds ground brisket (80/20 blend)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 large brioche hamburger buns
2 tablespoons butter, melted
8 white Cheddar slices
4 butter lettuce leaves
1 Vidalia onion, thickly sliced
1 large heirloom tomato, thickly sliced
Mayonnaise, for serving, if desired

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.

Tips for Making Green Chile Cheese Toasts:

  • Use fresh green chiles. Fresh green chiles have a brighter flavor and more heat than dried chiles. If you can't find fresh green chiles, you can use canned green chiles, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Roast the green chiles. Roasting the green chiles brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the chiles, place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven until they are charred. Once they are charred, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in green chile cheese toasts, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the green chile cheese toasts, don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the toasts will not cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately. Green chile cheese toasts are best served immediately. If you let them sit for too long, the cheese will start to harden and the toasts will become soggy.

Conclusion:

Green chile cheese toasts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover green chiles. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of green chile cheese toasts that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give green chile cheese toasts a try!
