Jalapeno And Avocado Cheeseburgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl gently combine just until blended, the ground chuck, red onion, parsley, jalapeno, chopped garlic, salt and pepper.
• Gently shape the mixture into 4 patties of equal size and thickness, 3/4 to 1 inch thick.
• With your knuckle or thumb, make a shallow depression about 1 inch wide in the center of each patty. (This will help the patties cook evenly and prevent them from shrinking on the grill).
• Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the inside in once piece with a spoon.
• Cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices.
• Heat grill for medium high heat.
• Brush the cooking grate clean.
• Rub some oil on the cooking grate to help with sticking.
• Grill the patties over direct medium high heat with the lid closed as much as possible, until cooked to medium, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once and moving around on the grill for even cooking.
• During the last minute of grilling time place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt, and grill the buns, cut side down until toasted, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Assemble the cheeseburgers with the avocado and lettuce, if using and a little mustard or other spread you like.
• NOTE: I didn't add any additional condiments to mine but some friends loaded their's with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and loved it. Use what you like.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Avocado Jalapeno Relish: In a medium bowl, mix all relish ingredients but the lime juice. Stir gently with a fork to mix. Drizzle the lime juice over all to evenly distribute. Stir gently until fully incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to assemble the burgers.
• Cumin Garlic Mayo: In a small bowl, mix the mayo, cumin and garlic. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Southwest Burgers: In a large bowl, crumble the beef apart and spread out across the width of the bowl. Add the onion and patty seasonings by sprinkling over the beef to evenly distribute. Mix gently with your hands, careful to not overwork the meat. Form into 6 patties.
• To cook the patties, heat the grill or grill pan to medium high. Place the patties on the grates and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and grill another 4 minutes. Add the cheese slices and allow to melt, about 1 minute. (This cooking time was done on a gas grill for medium- medium well. Use a meat thermometer for your desired temperature. Your cooking time will vary if the patties have been refrigerated.).
• Place the buns cut-side down on the grill until slightly toasted, about 1 minute. Keep a close watch, they can burn quickly.
• To assemble, spread the mayo mixture on the bottom bun, about 1 heaping tablespoon. Place 2 or 3 pieces of lettuce as desired. Place the burgers on top, then the sliced tomato. Spoon on two generous tablespoons of relish. Add red onion if desired. Place top bun. Repeat for remaining burgers.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Mix jalapeno pepper, garlic, onion, and ground beef in a medium bowl. Form into four patties.
• Brush grill grate with oil. Grill hamburger patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Top with pepperjack cheese, and serve on buns.
