Green Chili Burgers With Guacamole Sauce Food

GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGER DELUXE

Steps:

• Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together onion, tomato, salt, Serrano chile and cilantro. This salsa tastes best when it's fresh, so don't set aside for too long.
• Prepare a charcoal barbecue or light the broiler. When hot, roast the chiles.
• Place chiles on a rack very close to the glowing coals, or on a baking sheet quite close to broiler flames. Using tongs, turn chiles occasionally until they are completely black and blistered all over. Alternatively, roast over stovetop flames. Set roasted chiles aside for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
• Cut each chile in half lengthwise, then scrape away skins and seeds with a pairing knife. Do not rinse: A few bits of char are fine. Wipe chile "fillets" with a paper towel if you wish. Slice cleaned chiles lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips and set aside. (It's fine to roast chiles in advance, even a day or two ahead.)
• Divide ground meat into 6-ounce balls, and press them into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
• If grilling over coals, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger's juices start appearing. Move burgers to a cooler spot on the grill and let cheese continue to melt.
• If cooking on stovetop, heat a cast-iron pan or ridged grill pan over high heat. When hot, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger juices start appearing. Turn off heat and let cheese continue to melt, or place pan under broiler.
• Place a cheeseburger on the bottom half of each bun. Adorn each burger generously with strips of roasted chile. Top the burgers with buns and serve immediately, accompanied by avocado slices and tomato salsa.

GREEN CHILI BURGERS WITH GUACAMOLE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. I made the guacamole sauce the day before. Just made it sooooo much easier to make when I came home from work. *** I also cooked some bacon, sliced onions and made some of them with cheese as all my children like different toppings on theirs. My son and I liked it with just the guacamole sauce. The picture is with the bacon added. You can add an extra slice of tomato if you like tomatoes a lot. I doubled this recipe as we like lots of guac sauce on ours! Anyway.... make the guacamole sauce first. ........
• 2. Make Guacamole********* In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork and add the fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice. (I used lemon). Add in the mayonnaise and stir well. Stir in the diced onions, diced tomatoes, cilantro and garlic and mix all together well. Season with the salt, mix and cover and put in the fridge until ready to use.
• 3. ****************************
• 4. Cook the burgers!! In a bowl, mix the hamburger and the can of green chilies. (I use my hands) ( I had to double this recipe also) Make the patties. Make them as thin or as thick as you want. Some of my kids like them thin and some like them thick. Of course, I aim to please. :) I made four patties from 1 pound of meat and three thick ones from another pound as I like them a little thicker. Make a shallow indentation about an inch thick in the center of the patties. Use a spoon or your fingers. This will help the patties from curling up and cook evenly. Put your grill pan on the stove and preheat on med-high. You want it hot when you add the patties. I like to get the grill marks on them. Grill them 10-16 minutes, depending on how thick your patties are and how well you like them. My patties were pretty thick and I like them done well. I cooked mine 8 minutes on each side. Turn once so as to get those great grill marks. Add the cheese at the last 2 mins if using cheese. When done grilling, put the buns in the pan and grill the flat sides so you see the grill marks as well. *** If cooking them on the grill, you want to grill the patties with the lid down. When done cooking, slather the guacamole sauce on the burgers and toppings as you like. Enjoy!!
