For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro to the burger mixture. If you prefer a spicier burger, leave some of the chipotle seeds in when dicing the peppers. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of chipotle mayo to complement the smoky flavors. Consider toasting the buns on the grill for the last minute of cooking to add a nice texture. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the ground beef. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-205°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced chipotle peppers, and taco seasoning. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. (3 minutes)
03
StepForm Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging while cooking. (4 minutes)
04
StepGrill the Burgers: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 7-10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. For a more well-done burger, cook to 165°F (74°C). (14-20 minutes)
05
StepRest and Serve: Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving on your favorite buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, or any other desired toppings.

May 17, 2025Easy to follow and delicious! I didn't have chipotle peppers, so I used chipotle powder instead and it was still great.
