Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 large chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup Mexican crema (can substitute creme fraiche)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups lightly mashed Hass avocado
2 tablespoons lime juice
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 1/2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces Oaxacan cheese, separated into thin strings (can substitute mozzarella)
4 sesame seed buns, split
Corn tortilla chips
4 very thin slices red onion
5 papalo leaves, finely minced (can substitute 1/4 cup cilantro sprigs, plus 2 tablespoons watercress leaves)

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl combine the chipotle, adobo sauce, garlic, Mexican crema, and mayonnaise. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  • Avocado Spread:
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the avocado and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and set aside.
  • Combine the beef, adobo sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well, handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties to fit the size of the buns.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. When oil is hot, add burgers. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip burgers. Top the burgers with Oaxacan cheese and cover with aluminum foil. Cook until the burgers are cooked medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes. Toast the buns.
  • To assemble the burgers, spread some Chipotle Crema on the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom, add some corn tortilla chips, a cheese-topped patty, onion, equal amounts of Avocado Spread, and papalo. Cover with the bun tops and serve.

This burger was a bit disappointing. The chipotle mayo was too spicy and the burger patty was overcooked.

I'm not a huge fan of chipotle, but this recipe changed my mind. The chipotle mayo is mild and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the savory beef patty and tangy avocado. The avocado and queso fresco add a nice touch of creaminess and tanginess. I'l

Meh. It was okay, but nothing special. The chipotle mayo was bland and the burger patty was overcooked.

Not a fan. The chipotle mayo was too spicy for my taste and overpowered the other flavors. The burger patty itself was also a bit dry.
