Ingredients

1/4 cup GOYA® Mayonnaise
1 chipotle pepper from 1 can (12 oz.) GOYA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce, finely chopped, plus 1/4 cup chipotle sauce from can
3 tbsp. GOYA® Minced Garlic, divided
1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning, to taste

6 hamburger buns
6 1/4 inch-slices red onions
6 1/2 inch-slices tomatoes
6 lettuce leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. In medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, 1 tbsp. chipotle sauce, 1 tsp. garlic, cilantro and adobo; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

    Step 2

    2. In large bowl, gently mix together beef, chopped chipotle, 3 tbsp. chipotle sauce, remaining garlic and adobo until combined. Divide meat into 6 portions; form into 1"-thick patties. (Take care not to over-handle meat or else it will toughen).

    Step 3

    3. Prepare grill to medium-high heat, grease with oil (or heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat). Cook burgers, flipping once, until charred and cooked to desired doneness (about 12 minutes total for medium rare). Add cheese to patties about 5 minutes before taking them off grill.

    Step 4

    4. To assemble, divide patties evenly among bottom buns; top with onion slice, tomato slice, lettuce and top bun spread with reserved chipotle mayonnaise.
