How to Make South Of The Border Burger

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef with 2 tablespoons of chipotle pepper sauce. Mix well, being careful not to overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into 6 patties, about ¾ inch thick.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise and the remaining 2 tablespoons of chipotle pepper sauce until smooth and creamy.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of grilling, place 6 slices of cheese on top of each patty to allow it to melt.
  4. Spread the chipotle mayo generously on both halves of your favorite burger buns. Top with the grilled patties, sliced red onion, tomato slices, and lettuce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  5. For extra flavor, consider grilling the buns lightly before assembling the burgers.
