Monterey Jack Burgers Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

Juicy beef patties topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese and a tangy chipotle mayo, these burgers are a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
• 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 slices red onion

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and lime juice. Set aside.
2. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or to desired doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4. Toast buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
5. Spread chipotle mayo on the cut sides of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and red onion slice on the bottom bun. Top with the patty and close the burger.
6. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a slice of bacon or avocado.
• If you prefer less heat, use only one chipotle pepper.
• These burgers pair well with sweet potato fries or a simple salad.
