Chipotle Pork Cheeseburgers



In a Southwest mood?  Try this yummy burger

Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground pork (not lean)
  • 2 teaspoons minced chipotle in adobo plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
  • 4 slices Muenster cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns, toasted
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large tomatillo (1/4 pound), husked and rinsed, then sliced
  • 1/2 small avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro sprigs

Directions

Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat

Gently mix pork, chipotle, garlic, and a scant teaspoon salt until just combined. Form into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties. 

Oil grill rack, then grill patties, covered, 4 minutes. 

Flip patties and top with a slice of cheese. Grill, covered, until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more. 

Spread buns with mayonnaise and assemble burgers with tomatillo, avocado, and cilantro. 

Cooks' note: Burgers can be grilled in an oiled hot 2-burner grill pan over medium heat, about 10 minutes total.
