Recipe type: Main Dish, Beef, Sandwich
Serves: 2-4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef (80% lean and 20% fat recommended)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp chopped green chilies
  • 2-4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
  • Prepared guacamole
  • Your favorite salsa
  • Jalapeno slices (optional)
  • 2-4 hamburger buns
Instructions
  1. Combine ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, garlic, and green chilies in a bowl. Using hands, knead ingredients together until well incorporated.
  2. Set grill to medium-high.
  3. Divide ground beef mixture into 2 or 4 equal helpings. Shape into patties, pressing down in middle just slightly to leave a slight welt.
  4. Grill over medium-high heat 6 minutes per side, flipping just once (do NOT press down on patties with spatula as this will dry them out).
  5. Turn gas off and top each patty with a slice of Pepper Jack. Leave on grill just until cheese is melted. Remove from grill.
  6. Spread desired amount of guacamole on each bun bottom. Top with burger and spoon salsa on top of burger. Top with jalapeno slices if you want an extra kick.
