6 burger buns you like
# Instructions:
01 -
Get a big cast iron pan hot over medium-high heat. Throw in oil with onions and jalapeños. After they start to color, turn down the heat and let them cook for 15-20 minutes until they're deep golden brown.
02 -
Combine your meat with salt and smoky paprika. Shape into 6 patties. Want cheese? Push some pieces into each patty. Put them aside for now.
03 -
Stir together mayo with the chopped chipotles and salt in a little bowl. Make it as spicy as you want.
04 -
Make piles with your onions and jalapeños. Put patties on top and flatten them really thin. Let them cook about 2-3 minutes until the edges get brown, then flip everything together. Cook another 3-4 minutes until they're done.
05 -
Stack your burgers on buns with the meat-veggie mix and chipotle mayo.
# Notes:
01 -
Take out the jalapeño seeds if you can't handle the heat
02 -
You can find pre-cut chipotles in the Latin food section
03 -
You can put cheese on top instead of inside if that's easier
