A delightful twist on classic burgers, combining taco flavors with a spicy chipotle kick.
Combine the ground beef, diced red onion, taco seasoning, egg, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make the burgers tough.
Shape the mixture into four evenly sized patties.
Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Blend the mayonnaise and chipotle chile in a blender until smooth.
Adjust the amount of chipotle to suit your spice preference.
Grill the patties over medium heat, flipping once, until cooked to your desired doneness.
Avoid pressing down on the patties while grilling to retain their juices.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun, topping with a slice of cheese, a tomato slice, and a dollop of chipotle mayo.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
