Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 Jalapenos (fresh, sliced)
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Chipotle mayo
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until evenly combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet if using, or lightly oil the grill grates.

Step 4

Place the burger patties on the skillet or grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 5

During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to allow it to melt.

Step 6

Meanwhile, toast the burger buns on the grill or a separate skillet until lightly golden.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

Step 8

Layer each bun with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, the cooked patty with melted cheese, and a few fresh jalapeno slices.

Step 9

Close the burgers with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your spicy Jalapeno Burger!
