List of Ingredients




large fresh jalapenos or fresh serrano peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, plus
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3 large garlic cloves, smashed
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
kosher salt
1 1/2 lbs ground sirloin, room temperature
1 cup shredded monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
fresh ground pepper
4 hamburger buns or onion topped buns
olive oil, for brushing
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 head boston lettuce, washed, dried and torn or 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce or 4 slices tomatoes, thinly sliced
sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, for serving


Recipe



1.Using a food processor or blender, combine fresh jalape�os with 1/2 cup cilantro, garlic, lime juice, water, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and a pinch of salt. Process the jalape�o-cumin sauce until pureed and smooth.

2.Place sirloin, shredded cheese, remaining cilantro and cumin in a bowl and gently knead until JUST combined. Loosely shape into 4 equal burgers, poking any stray strands of cheese back into the pattie.

3.Season generously with salt and pepper and place on a plate lined with saran wrap. Lightly brush the insides of the buns with olive oil.

4.Light a grill and brush oil on the grate to keep the cheeseburgers from sticking. Grill the cheeseburgers for about 8-10 minutes, turning once, for medium meat. Remove the cheeseburgers from direct heat and grill the buns (cut side down) until they are toasted.

5.Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on bottoms and tops of buns. Set the cheeseburgers on the bottom halves and top with the lettuce, tomato and pickled jalape�os. Spoon the jalape�o sauce on the burgers, top with the buns and serve immediately. Serve remaining sauce in a small dish on the side.
