Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Make the Onions

Place the onions in a bowl and add half the lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the olive oil. Stir to coat.

Make the Guacamole

In another bowl, mash together the avocado, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.

Make the Burgers

Preheat the broiler to high. Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet covered with foil. Place the peppers in the oven and broil until they are charred, turning with tongs to make sue all sides are charred. Remove and place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the peppers sit until cooled, then peel the skins from the pepper. Remove the stems and seeds and place the peppers in a food processor or blender and process until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, pureed poblano, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, coriander, paprika, the 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the 1 teaspoon pepper. Form the mixture into 12 3-inch patties, making them a bit thinner in the center and thicker at the edges.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. If needed, add a bit of olive oil. Add the burgers and cook, turning once, for about 7 minutes total, or until your desired doneness. Top with 2 pieces of the quartered cheese and tent loosely with foil during the last minute or two of cooking.
To serve, place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with the onions and the creamy guacamole, then place the bun top in place.
