Chipotle Burgers With Avocado Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place half the chopped cilantro into a large bowl and mix with ground beef, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce. Set remaining cilantro aside. Form the beef mixture into 4 patties.
• Lightly toss remaining cilantro in a bowl with avocado, onion, tomato, jalapeno peppers, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
• Grill burgers on the preheated grill until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Serve the burgers on onion rolls topped with avocado salsa.

Steps:

• Chipotle Salsa:.
• Heat a thick cast iron skillet until very hot and add tomatillos, garlic, tomatoes and onion and cook over low heat. Frequently flip until blackeded in small areas and soft, about 10 minutes. Place on plate and set aside to cool.
• Put the tomatillos, garlic, tomatoes and onion in a blender or food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, be careful not to liquify. Add chipotles and adobo sauce, cilantro, salt and sugar and pulse one or two times until JUST mixed.
• Burgers:.
• Add turkey, cilantro, scallion, garlic, ancho powder, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and gently knead. Form 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick and put on a saran wraped plate.
• Light your grill and when it is heated brush grate with oil. Grill the burgers for 13 minutes, turning once, for medium. Briefly warm the english muffins and place a burger on the bottom slice; top with the avocado, pumpkin seeds and a helping of Chipotle Salsa. Top the burger and serve with the remaining salsa on the side.

Steps:

• Roast 6 tomatillos over an open flame until the husks are charred, 5 minutes. Cool; remove the husks. Puree the tomatillos, 1 canned chipotle chile, 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, the juice of 1 lime, 1 garlic clove and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Thin with water. Season with salt.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the chipotles, garlic, oil, and salt. Wipe the chickens with paper towels. Thoroughly coat the pieces on all sides with a layer of the chipotle paste.
• Place in a nonreative baking dish or in resealable bags and refrigerate for 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
• Heat the grill to medium. With the lid open, grill the chicken on both sides until well marked but not burned- about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat to low, close the lid, and cook the chicken, skin side up, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees. (Alternatively, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.).
• Serve with tortillas and salsa.
• Avocado Salsa: Place the avocados in a bowl. Sprinkle with the salt an dlime juice; mix gently with the onion and cilantro (don't mash; it should look diced).
• Note: this salsa should be served within 3 hours. To help it keep its color, press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the avocado and refrigerate until needed.
