Time 1h30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped, plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped white onion
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 whole-wheat buns, split
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 slices Cheddar
1 avocado, thinly sliced
Tomato slices, for topping

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.

CHIPOTLE PORK CHEESEBURGERS



Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers image

I almost overlooked this recipe, but I'm glad I didn't because it's really, really good! Smoky pork burgers are topped with melted cheese, tomatillo, avocado and cilantro, all very complimentary flavors. I added a little olive oil for lean pork and included my notes in the listing below, but the original recipe comes from Andrea Albin for Gourmet magazine. Prep time does not include time to heat the grill.

Categories     Pork

Time 20m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground pork, not lean
1 teaspoon olive oil, add if the pork is lean (optional)
2 teaspoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo, plus
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
1 teaspoon salt, scant
4 slices muenster cheese (I like pepper Jack, too)
4 hamburger buns, toasted
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 large tomatillo, husked, rinsed, sliced thinly (1/4 pound)
1/2 avocado, sliced (I use a whole Hass avocado)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (I finely chop and mix with the mayo)

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat. Gently mix pork, olive oil (if using), chipotle, adobo sauce, garlic and a scant teaspoon salt until just combined. Form into 4 (1/2-inch thick) patties.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill patties, covered, 4 minutes. Flip patties and top with a slice of cheese. Grill, covered, until just cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Spread toasted buns with mayonnaise and assemble burgers with tomatillo, avocado, and cilantro.
  • Cook's note: Burgers can be grilled on a hot oiled grill pan over medium heat, about 10 minutes total, flipping once halfway through.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ground pork. Look for ground pork that is made from fresh, never-frozen pork.
  • Be sure to season the ground pork well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the burgers.
  • Cook the ground pork over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the pork, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese for the cheeseburgers. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Monterey Jack cheese will both melt well and provide a delicious flavor.
  • To achieve the perfect smoky flavor, use chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Be sure to chop the peppers finely before adding them to the ground pork.
  • Serve the cheeseburgers immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the burgers are hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

These Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The smoky flavor of the chipotle peppers and the melted cheese combine to create a burger that is both flavorful and satisfying. Serve these burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion, and enjoy!
