Chipotle Cheeseburger

Prep Time:
15 Min

Ready In:
30 Min

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Goya Mayonnaise
• 1 pepper from a can of Goya Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup sauce from a can of Goya Chipotle Chiles in Adobo Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Goya Minced Garlic, divided
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
• Goya Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning, to taste
• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Goya Vegetable Oil
• 6 slices Cheddar cheese
• 6 hamburger buns
• 6 (1/4 inch thick) slices red onion
• 6 (1/2 inch thick) slices tomato
• 6 lettuce leaves

Directions

1. In medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. chipotle sauce, 1 tsp. garlic, cilantro and Adobo; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. In large bowl, gently mix together beef, chopped chipotle, 3 tbsp. chipotle sauce, remaining garlic and adobo until combined. Divide meat into 6 portions; form into 1 inch-thick patties. (Take care not to over-handle meat or else it will toughen).
3. Prepare grill to medium-high heat, grease with oil (or heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat). Cook burgers, flipping once, until charred and cooked to desired doneness (about 12 minutes total for medium rare). Add cheese to patties about 5 minutes before taking them off grill.
4. To assemble, divide patties evenly among bottom buns; top with onion slice, tomato slice, lettuce and top bun spread with reserved chipotle mayonnaise.

Footnotes

• Cooking tip from LA COCINA GOYA
• Perfectly Seasoned Meat – Every time! You added GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning the burger meat, but since the beef is still raw, you can't taste to see if the seasoning is to your liking. The easiest way: Scoop out a spoonful of meat, form into a small hamburger shape and cook on an oiled skillet until cooked-though. Then, taste and adjust.
