Ingredients

• 1.5 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 pcs brioche burger buns
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 pcs jalapeño, sliced
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 pcs lime, juiced
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Mix gently with your hands to incorporate the spices evenly without overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the final minute of cooking, sprinkle each patty with shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, toast the brioche buns on the grill or a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.

Step 6

To prepare the chili lime mayo, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous layer of chili lime mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Place a patty on top, followed by a slice of tomato, red onion rings, jalapeño slices, and fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 8

Cap the burgers with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, like fries or a fresh salad.
