Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 avocado
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 0.25 cup chipotle mayo
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 red onion
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
Step 2
Heat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 3
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty. Cover with a lid or foil to melt the cheese.
Step 4
While the patties cook, slice the avocado and toss with lime juice to prevent browning. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.
Step 5
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 6
Spread chipotle mayo on the cut sides of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a tomato slice, a cooked patty with melted cheese, avocado slices, and a few rings of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your Santa Fe Burger with your favorite side dish!
