Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 jalapeno chiles
6 slices bacon
3 lbs ground chuck
salt and pepper
1/2 cup feta or 1/2 cup goat cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 avocados, pitted and thinly sliced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
6 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium and place a cast-iron skillet on top. Add the chiles and cook until softened and the skin is charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the stems, skin and seeds; finely chop the chiles.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the skillet until crisp. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat; chop the bacon.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped bacon, the reserved bacon fat, the beef and half of the chiles. Form into 6 patties; season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1 tablespoon olive oil and the remaining chiles. Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate.
  • In another bowl, toss the avocados, cilantro, onion and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
  • Grill the burgers, flipping once, for about 10 minutes for medium-rare. Just before the burgers are finished cooking, grill the buns until toasted, about 1 minute. Place a burger on each bun bottom, top with some of the avocado salad, drizzle with some of the queso fresco dressing and set a bun top in place.

Not a fan. The burgers were dry and the avocado was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

These burgers were amazing! The avocado and bacon were a perfect match for the juicy burger patties. I will definitely be making these again!

The avocado and bacon added a nice touch to these burgers, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think I would add some more sauce next time.

My husband and I loved these burgers! They were juicy and flavorful, and the avocado and bacon added a nice creamy and salty touch. We will definitely be making these again!
