Ingredients

Burgers

  • 2 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles
  • 3 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, undrained
  • 8 slices Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, if desired
  • 8 burger buns, split
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

Guacamole

  • 2 large avocados (about 1 lb), pitted, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, if desired
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix beef, green chiles and chipotle chiles. Shape into 8 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, mash guacamole ingredients, using pastry blender or fork.
  • 3
    Place patties on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 13 to 15 minutes, turning once, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160°F. Top each patty with cheese slice; cook just until cheese is melted. To toast buns, place cut sides down on grill during last 1 to 2 minutes of cook time.
  • 4
    Layer buns with tomato slices, burgers and guacamole.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can control the spiciness of these burgers by adjusting the amount of chipotle chiles and adobo sauce in them.
  • tip 2
    Short on time? Skip the guacamole and top your burger with a slice of avocado instead.
  • tip 3
    Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans in the Mexican foods section in your supermarket. Once opened, they’ll keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
