Ingredients
  • 4 Richwood Meat burger patties
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 4 sesame buns
  • 1 cup roasted Hatch green chiles
  • For the Chipotle Mayo
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chipotle sauce or adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chipotle sauce, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Warm the roasted Hatch green chiles in a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then set aside.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet/griddle over medium-high heat.
  4. Season the burger patties lightly with salt and black pepper.
  5. Cook the patties until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, turning once or as needed. Cook time may vary depending on patty thickness, cooking method, and whether cooking from frozen.
  6. During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese.
  7. Avoid pressing down on the patties while they cook, as this can squeeze out flavorful juices.
  8. Lightly toast the sesame buns until warm and lightly crisp. Toasting helps the buns hold up better and adds texture.
  9. Let the patties rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  10. Spread the chipotle mayo on the toasted buns.
  11. Assemble the burgers with the patty on the bottom bun, then top with the warm roasted Hatch green chiles. Add the top bun and serve right away.
