Ingredients
- olive oil
- 2 lb. ground beef (1 pound each chuck and sirloin)
- 2 can green chile peppers
- 2 tsp. ground chili powder
- 4 clove garlic
- 8 slice Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 large Vidalia onion
- 8 brioche hamburger buns
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 medium avocados
- 1 cup salsa
Directions
- Step 1Heat grill to medium-high and grease grates with oil. In a large bowl, combine beef, chiles, chili powder, and garlic. Form into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties. Grill burgers for about 5 minutes, then flip. Top with cheese and continue to grill to desired doneness: an extra 2 to 3 minutes for rare; 4 to 5 minutes for medium; 6 to 7 minutes for well.
- Step 2Meanwhile, grill onions until soft and char marks form, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer onions and burgers to a plate. Grill buns until char marks form, about 1 minute; transfer to plate.
- Step 3To assemble: Place lettuce on bottom half of each bun, then top each with a burger, 2 avocado slices, 2 tablespoons salsa, grilled onions, and bun top.
