‘Fajita’ Burgers

Ingredients:

1 pound 90%-lean ground beef

¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided

½ cup finely chopped red onion

¼ cup chopped scallions

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon ground pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo

½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

4 French rolls, preferably whole-wheat, split/toasted

2 roasted Anaheim or poblano peppers

1 cup shredded green cabbage

4 slices tomato

4 thin slices red onion

Preparation:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.

2. Place beef, 1/4 cup cilantro, onion, scallions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Gently combine, without over mixing, until evenly incorporated. Form into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick and oval-shaped to match the rolls.

3. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice and chipotle in a small bowl.

4. Peel the roasted peppers, halve lengthwise and remove the seeds.

5. Oil the grill rack. Grill the burgers until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, about 6 minutes per side. Top with cheese and cook until it is melted, about 1 minute more.

6. Assemble the burgers on toasted rolls with the chipotle mayonnaise, half a roasted pepper, cabbage, tomato and onion.

For those of you who are wimps and dont like a little spice, I would avoid these. Amberly I mean you!!
