Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground chicken
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
1 egg
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt to taste
4 burger buns, toasted
4 slices of pepper jack cheese (optional, for extra heat)
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced red onions
Pickled jalapeños (optional, for extra spice)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, spices, lime juice, breadcrumbs, and egg until just mixed.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns.
Cook patties on a preheated grill or skillet over medium heat for about 5-6 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
While cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise with additional chipotle pepper and lime juice in a small bowl.
Assemble burgers on toasted buns with desired toppings and drizzle with sauce before serving.
