These juicy, smoky and spicy chipotle chicken burgers are topped off with pepper Jack cheese, refreshing pico de gallo, and creamy chipotle mayo. Only use 1 or 2 chipotle peppers if you like things a little milder. Use fresh store-made pico de gallo to save time.
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 0.13 teaspoons salt
Instructions
-
1
Stir mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, lime juice, and the 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, chipotle peppers, queso fresco, salt, and ground coriander. Form into 4 patties and place on squares of parchment paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to help patties firm up.

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush skillet with butter and toast buns, cut side down, until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
-
3
Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Fry burgers until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 3 minutes per side. Turn heat off. Place cheese slices over patties and cover with a lid, letting the residual heat melt the cheese.

Spread chipotle mayo on bottom buns and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cilantro. Add chicken patty and top with pico de gallo.

A strong but good martini cocktail that tastes just like a Snickers candy bar!
Sweet Potato "Hummus"
This was simply a case of me wanting hummus, not having garbanzo beans, and making it anyway with sweet potatoes. I don't blame you if you're skeptical, but this stuff has the same taste and texture as hummus, just with a slightly sweet finish reminiscent of red pepper hummus. My wife, Michele, who has a much more discerning palate than I do, said that if blindfolded, she'd have trouble distinguishing this from real hummus.
