Report
Chipotles in adobo give these burgers a smoky, spicy flavor. And when drenched in a creamy avocado sauce you just made the best burger in town. So good!

Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 chipotles in adobo
- 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce
- 2-3 Tablespoons onion finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly cracked
- 4-6 cheese slices
- 4-6 Hamburger Bun
- 1 tomato
- lettuce
For the Creamy Avocado Sauce
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1/4 jalapeño
- 2 garlic cloves
- 15-20 prigs cilantro
- 1 lime
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly cracked
- water splash
- 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise or cream; optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine 1 lb. ground beef, two minced chipotles in adobo (with stems and seeds removed), 2-3 Tablespoons of finely chopped onion, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and some freshly cracked pepper.
- Combine well and form into 4 patties each 1/4 lb. in size, or 6 smaller burgers.
- The burgers can be cooked as you see fit. I usually saute them in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side and then finish them off in a 425F oven for 4-6 minutes, adding the cheese slices to the burgers for the last couple minutes. I also put the buns in the oven as the burgers finish cooking.
- For the Creamy Avocado Sauce, add the following ingredients to a blender or food processor: 1 avocado, 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/4 jalapeno, 2 garlic cloves, 15-20 sprigs cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 2 Tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper, and a splash of water. Combine well. You can also add a drizzle of cream or 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise.
- Coat each hamburger bun with the Creamy Avocado Sauce and serve with your choice of lettuce, tomato, and other fixings.
Notes
- Be sure to finely chop the onion. If left chunky it can make the patties crumble.
