CHIPOTLE HAMBURGER RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• On a stovetop preheat a large skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the oil and tomatoes and stir to coat. Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes begin to break down, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining ingredients and continue to cook until the tomatoes release their juices and the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
• Mix the patty ingredients, and then gently and briefly form four patties of equal size, each about (1 inch) thick. With your thumb or the back of a spoon, make a shallow indentation about (1 inch) wide in the center of each patty to prevent them from forming a dome as they cook. Refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F).
• Grill the patties over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until cooked to 160°F (or your preferred doneness), 8 to 10 minutes for medium, turning once or twice. During the last minute of grilling time, toast the rolls, cut side down, over direct heat.
• Serve the patties on the toasted rolls with the jam, lettuce, red onion, and avocado.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.
• Meanwhile, open any whole chipotles and discard seeds, then mince chipotles.
• Mix chipotles (with sauce), beef, onion, and salt with your hands, then form mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties.
• Grill burgers on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill English muffins, cut sides down, until grill marks appear, about 30 seconds. Serve burgers in English muffins.
• If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:
• Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds
• Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds
• Low: 5 to 6 seconds
• If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
