Ingredients

The Sauce:
  • 6 ounces PLAIN yogurt
  • ½ chipotle pepper seeded & minced
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from chipotle pepper can
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
The Slaw:
  • 1 ½ cup chopped green cabbage
  • 1 ½ cup chopped red cabbage
  • 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon Cholula green pepper sauce
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
The Hamburgers:
  • 1 ½ pound extra lean 93% ground beef
  • ¼ cup minced cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Cholula green pepper sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 12 whole wheat dinner rolls lightly toasted

Instructions

The Sauce:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice and salt. Stir to combine completely.
The Slaw:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the green and red cabbage, and the cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, Cholula green pepper sauce and salt. Whisk in the olive oil.
  3. Toss the cabbage mixture with the dressing.
The Hamburgers:
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, cilantro, Cholula green pepper sauce and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal pieces (2 ounces each) and form each into patties that are ¾- to 1-inch high. (Can be made ahead. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and chill. Bring the room temperature before grilling.)
  3. Place the meat patties on the grill and cook, lid closed, 3 minutes per side, or until barely cooked through. I like a little bit of pink inside to ensure optimal juiciness. Remove the patties from the grill.
  4. Spread 2 teaspoons of the sauce on each toasted roll. Top each roll with 1 hamburger patty and ¼ cup slaw. Serve.
