These Spicy Southwest Burgers are a flavorful twist on the classic burger, featuring a smoky honey chipotle sauce and fresh toppings.
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape into patties.
Handle the meat gently to avoid overworking it, which can make the burgers tough.
Season the patties with salt and pepper on both sides.
Season just before cooking to retain the meat's natural juices.
Grill the patties over medium-high heat until cooked to your desired doneness.
Flip the patties only once during cooking to ensure even searing.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Cover the grill briefly to help the cheese melt faster.
Mix chipotle chili, honey, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a bowl to make the sauce.
Adjust the amount of chipotle chili to control the sauce's spiciness.
Toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the buns to prevent burning.
Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Use a generous amount of sauce for maximum flavor.
Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the sauced buns, then adding lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Layer the toppings evenly for a balanced bite.
Serve the burgers immediately while warm.
Pair with your favorite sides like fries or a salad for a complete meal.
