The smokey adobo flavors in the beef and creamy sauce take this chipotle burger up a few notches.  It's a great summer recipe.

Ingredients

Burger Patty Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 tbsp Dad's all purpose seasoning
  • 1 can Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 4 Burger buns
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Avocado
  • 4 Lettuce leaves

Creamy Adobo Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Mayo
  • 1 can Adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers
  • 1 Lime

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add ground beef, Dad's All Purpose rub and chopped up chipotle peppers from the adobo sauce can.  Mix it all together and scoop out 1/4 lb. balls. Form the patties using a burger press or by hand to 1/2 inch thickness. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • For the adobo sauce, in a mixing bowl, add mayo, the adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers, freshly squeezed lime juice and a dash of Dad's All Purpose rub. Mix the ingredients together and set aside.
  • Preheat the grill to 400 degrees and set for direct heat. Keep the patties on the grill for about 8 minutes flipping them half way through.
  • Before removing the chipotle burger patties off the grill, add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each and let it melt over the beef.
  • Remove the patties off the grill at 135 degrees internal temperature.  Let them rest for 10 minutes before assembling the burger.  
  • To assemble, toast the burger buns, add some crunchy lettuce, tomato and avocado slices and top it off with the creamy adobo sauce.

Notes

A 80/20 blend of ground beef is the best option for a juicy and flavorful burger patty.  If you want a healthier option, go with a leaner blend, but be careful to not overcook it.  
I used provolone cheese on my burger.  But other alternatives include colby jack or pepper jack cheese.  Adds creaminess and heat.
