Chipotle Burgers

These smoky chipotle burgers offer a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue favourite, bringing a deep, earthy heat to your summer dining. By incorporating chipotle chillies in adobo sauce directly into the minced beef, the meat stays incredibly moist while delivering a punch of spice and a rich, charred flavour. This high-protein dish is perfect for those seeking a more adult flavour profile than the standard cheeseburger, relying on simple, high-quality ingredients to do the heavy lifting.

Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or an effortless weekend gathering, this recipe can be prepared on a traditional charcoal grill or a gas barbecue. Serving the spiced patties in toasted English muffins provides a satisfying textural contrast to the juicy beef. For a complete meal, pair these burgers with a crisp green salad or some homemade sweet potato wedges to balance the bold, piquant notes of the adobo.

Ingredients for Chipotle Burgers

  • 2 tablespoons canned chipotle chillies in adobo, including sauce

  • 450g beef mince chuck

  • 80g finely chopped onion

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 4 English muffins or hamburger buns, halved horizontally

How to make Chipotle Burgers

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure," below.

Meanwhile, open any whole chipotles and discard seeds, then mince chipotles.

Mix chipotles (with sauce), beef, onion, and salt with your hands, then form mixture into 4 (3/4-inch-thick) patties.

Grill burgers on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once, 4 minutes total for medium-rare. Grill English muffins, cut sides down, until grill marks appear, about 30 seconds. Serve burgers in English muffins.

If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows:

Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds

Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds

Low: 5 to 6 seconds

If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.
