Steps:
- To make the patties: Combine the beef, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl and mix well. Shape into patties a little more than 1/2-inch thick, place on a plate, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- To make the sauce: Stir together the sour cream, chipotles, adobo sauce, onions, cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Set aside.
- To make the burgers: Oil a grill rack and preheat the grill on high for 5 minutes. Spread the bun faces lightly with the butter. Grill the burgers over direct heat on medium-high (on a charcoal grill, set the burgers just outside the center of the grill rack), with the grill covered, for 4 minutes. Flip the burgers, top each with a slice of Cheddar, and grill, covered, 4 minutes more. Remove the burgers to a plate.
- Grill the buns, buttered-side down, over indirect heat, until golden, about 2 minutes. Set a burger on each bun bottom and top with avocado, tomato, lettuce, red onion and a dab of chipotle sauce. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve.

SUNNYSIDE BURGER WITH CHIPOTLE AIOLI
The combination of the egg and the aioli makes this burger special. Grab a few napkins, it can get deliciously messy!When assembling the burger I recommend you spread the aioli on the bottom bun so the top bun is available for the egg.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Use a ground chuck or sirloin that is at least 80% lean. This will help ensure that the burgers are juicy and flavorful.
- Don't overwork the meat: When mixing the ground beef, don't overwork it. This will make the burgers tough.
- Season the meat well: Be generous with the salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
- Form the burgers: Make sure the burgers are all the same size and shape. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent the burgers from burning on the outside while they are still raw on the inside.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the burgers rest: After cooking, let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, making them more flavorful.
