Directions

Place hamburger in a large mixing bowl. Remove all of the chipotles from the can and chop them on a cutting board. After that add the green Chile's and chipotles to the meat, and mix with your hands until mixed well.  

Time to make patties. I don't know how you make patties but I make large thick patties. I generally take one whole hand full of meat and roll it up in a ball, GENTLY!!! I then GENTLY press down to form a nice thick patty. I see so many people slap, and press down, and hit the meat with a frying pan. You want your hamburger to have that air in them, and you want some room for all the juices to build up. So be easy on that piece of meat. It didn't do anything to you! 

Light your grill! Once again, have a cold side and a hot side! Make sure you have your cheese and buns handy because you'll need to melt the cheese and toast the buns on the grill later.

When you cook hamburgers, it is imperative that your grill is hot. When I light my coals, I make sure that the grate I'm going to use to cook on is over that fire when I light the coals. If your grill top isn't hot enough 1. your burgers will not stick, 2. they won't char and 3. It just sucks! Also, don't press on the burgers! Remember be gentle! Once you put them on the grill close the lid and walk away for about two minutes and let the flames and hot grill top do it's job. You want crispy on the outside and soft and juicy in the middle, unless your one of those freaks who likes hockey pucks, lol. To each is own!

the one on the bottom right is for my son ; ) no peppers

Once they are done to your likeness, move them aside or to a top holder and toast up your buns and melt your cheese.

Once they're done, your ready to eat. Just place a nice spoon full of Guacamole (recipe below)  right on top of the burger. Serve them with grilled Chile-Lime steak fries (You can find recipe on this blog site)

Easy Guacamole Recipe

- Cilantro

- 2 limes

- 4 or 5 avocados

- salt

- red pepper

- cumin

- chopped white onion

- minced garlic

- 1 can Rotel

Obviously your going to need some ripe avocados. If you pick one up and it's purple and is hard as a rock, throw it into the next isle! They need to be dark and soft. Sometime stores will put stickers that say "ripe" on them. If your not sure, ask the 16 year old that works in produce that probably won't know either.

Remove the pit and skin of the avocados and put in a large mixing bowl.

Add Rotel, and onion. Chop, or cut (like my wife is doing) some cilantro in as well.

Once you have all of that in just add the salt, cumin, red pepper, and lime juice until you have reached a flavor that is good for you. We generally have a bag of tortilla chips sitting around so we can try and tweak as we go. That's the fun part!

That's it!
