Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large bell peppers, red, yellow or green
4 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
12 ounces beer, preferably pale ale
Two 4-ounce cans diced green chiles, mild or hot
One 12-ounce jar pickled jalapeno slices
2 pounds ground 80/20 chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices pepper jack cheese
Four 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • For the green chile gravy: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Drizzle the bell peppers with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the peppers on a sheet tray and roast until charred and soft, about 15 minutes. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then peel, core, seed and roughly chop. Set aside.
  • Add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until it starts to turn into a roux and no longer looks raw. Add the beer, the canned chiles, roasted bell peppers and 4 to 5 pickled jalapeno slices. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and puree in a blender (see Cook's Note). Taste and adjust for seasoning. Set aside.
  • For the burgers: Preheat a griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal patties and sprinkle aggressively with salt and pepper. Place on the hot griddle and cook until the juices start to form on the tops of the patties, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the patties and cover each with 2 slices pepper jack cheese. Cook until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Place a tortilla on a flat surface and place a patty in the center, cheese-side down. Fold the tortilla around the burger, like an empanada. Flip and place on a sheet pan, seam-side down. Top with another slice of pepper jack cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and patties. Place in the oven to melt the cheese on top, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the burgers from the oven and top with a generous amount of the green chile sauce. Garnish with the sour cream, more pickled jalapenos and shredded iceberg lettuce.
