From The Great Big Burger Book Ingredients:
1 lb ground round |
1 small red onion, finely diced |
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced |
1 large egg, beaten |
1 small ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice |
4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 cups peeled canned tomatoes, chopped and drained well again |
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and well drained |
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, diced |
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
Directions:
1. To make the queso: in a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add in the onion and stir/saute 5-7 minutes or until softened.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, cheese, chipotle powder and cumin, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted; keep warm on very low heat.
3. To make the bugers: Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.
4. Gently fold in the avocado; form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat; cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, 2-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
6. Serve on toasted sesame seed buns; top with a generous dollop of Spicy Chili Con Queso.
