Description

This burger combines a Mexican marinade mix, pepper-jack, grilled green chiles, and anch0-lime mayo to transform an ordinary burger into a masterpiece signature burger. I also share some great tips that will help make you a serious backyard burger-meister.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BURGERS:
  • 1 pound Ground Sirloin
  • 1 pound Ground Chuck
  • 1 envelope McCormick Grill Mates® Mexican Fiesta Marinade Mix, 1 Ounce Packet
  • 4 Tablespoons Water
  • 2 teaspoons Black Pepper, Ground Fresh
  • 4 whole Anaheim Chiles
  • 4 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 4 whole Hamburger Buns
  • Canola Oil Spray
  • _____
  • FOR THE MAYONNAISE:
  • ½ cups Mayonnaise
  • 1-½ teaspoon Ground Ancho Chile
  • ½ teaspoons McCormick Grill Mates® Garlic & Onion Medley Seasoning
  • ½ whole Lime, Just The Juice

Preparation

Note: If you can’t find ground chuck and/or sirloin, simply use 80/20 ground beef.

Combine all of the ground beef, the marinade mix, and the water in a medium mixing bowl.

Use your hands to mix the ingredients very well. Yes, it’s messy.

Divide the meat into four equal portions and form them into evenly-sized patties 1/2″ thick patties (about six inches in diameter).

Sprinkle both sides of each patty with pepper.

Use your index finger to put a hole in the center of each patty and set them aside.

Wash the peppers under cold water and drain well.

Remove the stem end of each pepper, and about 1/2″ of the tip end.

Slice each pepper lengthwise and remove the seeds and veins.

Put the peppers in a zip-top bag and seal the bag 3/4 of the way.

Microwave the peppers in the bag at medium-high for two minutes.

Remove the peppers from the bag and onto a plate, and let cool.

Prepare your grill for direct and indirect cooking at medium-high heat (about 425º).

Lightly oil both sides of each burger with the canola oil spray.

Grill the burgers over direct heat for three minutes.

Combine all of the mayonnaise ingredients in a small mixing bowl, whisk well and set aside.

Add the peppers, skin side down, to the open spaces of the grill.

Flip the burgers and cook them another three minutes.

Move the burgers to the cooler side of the grill and top each with a slice of cheese.

Toast the buns over direct heat.

Top each burger with two slices of grilled green chile.

Put each burger on a bun and smear each bun top with a good dose of the ancho-lime mayo.

Serve and enjoy!

I am sooo making this. I saw it on Foodgawker and I definitely gawked. Thanks for sharing! So sad, I am a native New Mexican and I live in Japan… can’t get green chile out here. :*(
I’ll give it a go with canned (gasp) and report back.

Thanks. Once you steam the chiles, the skins are not offensive at all. -John

Hey, good idea about poking a hole in the middle of the burger! So, do you eat the skin of the chili? Personally, I think I would remove it before adding it to the burger. This defiinitely sounds like a burger that we’ll be grilling this weekend! Thanks very much.
