Fiesta Burgers Con Queso


 

  • 1 lbs. 95% lean ground beef
  • ¼ c. finely chopped onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ c. shredded Chihuahua cheese, divided
  • 4 (6-in.) taco-size flour tortillas, warmed; or 4 Hy-Vee wheat or white hamburger buns, split and toasted

  • Black pepper, to taste

Desired toppings: thinly sliced lettuce, chopped tomato, avocado slices, salsa, sour cream and/or refrigerated homestyle guacamole

Combine ground beef, onion, jalapeño, cilantro and ¼ cup cheese in medium bowl; do not overmix. Gently shape into 4 (½-in.-thick) patties.

To cook on stovetop, heat a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place patties in skillet; cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of patties registers 160 degrees, turning patties over occasionally and topping with remaining 1/4 cup cheese during the last 3 minutes of cooking. (Note: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.)

To grill, preheat a charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350 degrees). Place patties on grill rack; close grill lid. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes* over ash-covered coals or 7 to 9 minutes in a preheated gas grill, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of patties registers 160 degrees, turning patties over occasionally and topping with remaining 1/4 cup cheese during the last 3 minutes of grilling. (Note: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.)

To serve, place burgers on tortillas or in buns; season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with desired toppings.
