Instructions

  1. Melt butter and oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté sliced onion and pasilla pepper for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the onion is soft, translucent, and somewhat jammy.
  2. In a large bowl combine chicken, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix gently, the mixture will be sticky so be careful not to overwork. Divide into 8 patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Prepare the grill.
  3. Meanwhile, blend one pepper and ketchup in a small food processor. Add another chili or more adobo sauce to taste for spiciness.
  4. Grill burgers for 15-20 minutes, flipping once, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees. Add cheese slices. Warm buns on the grill. Serve with chipotle ketchup, onions, ketchup, and arugula.

Notes

  • If you can't find Pasilla peppers, try Ancho chiles, as they are the closest variety.
  • Try ground turkey instead of chicken if you prefer (but use dark meat, or a mix, as all white meat will be on the dryer side). You might need an extra slather of chipotle ketchup but I don't see anything wrong with that.
  • Swap the havarti for pepper jack cheese if you want an extra kick (or just use your favorite burger cheese–just be sure to pick one with good meltability).
