Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 lb Ground pork
- 2 Poblano peppers
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Smoky chipotle chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Avocado
- 1 Lime
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 1 can (4 oz) Green chilies (roasted, diced, canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
1. Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and blistered. Place them in a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam. Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and dice them. Set aside.
Step 2
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, diced poblanos, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, chipotle chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 3
3. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal-sized portions and form them into burger patties, slightly larger than your buns (as they will shrink during cooking). Use your thumb to press a small indent in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
Step 4
4. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with vegetable oil. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty to melt.
Step 5
5. Meanwhile, halve and toast the hamburger buns with a small amount of butter in a separate skillet or on the grill until golden brown.
Step 6
6. In a small bowl, mix the diced green chilies, sour cream, and cilantro to create the green chili sauce.
Step 7
7. Slice the avocado and squeeze lime juice over it to prevent browning.
Step 8
8. Assemble the burgers: Spread the green chili sauce generously on the bottom bun. Place the burger patty with melted cheese on top. Add avocado slices, and then cover with the top bun.
Step 9
9. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as tortilla chips or a crisp salad. Enjoy your Sarasota’s Green Chili Mexican Burger!
