SOUTHWEST CHIPOTLE BURGERS

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the meat in a large mixing bowl. Add the cumin, Dave’s Smoked Habanero Powder, Cayenne Hot Pepper Sea Salt, and Screaming Sphincter Habanero Salsa. Use your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Chop the onion and chipotle pepper and add to the mixing bowl. Mix well. Add the eggs and tortilla chips and use your hands to thoroughly mix ingredients again.
Form the meat into round patties, about 1½ inches thick. Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers, 2-3 at a time (or however many fit in the pan). Cover the pan with a lid and allow the burgers to cook for 5 minutes, checking once or twice to avoid burning on the bottom. After 5 minutes, the bottom side should be browned and the there should be little to no pink on the top side. Flip the burgers and cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to achieve desired browning. Also, this is a good time to add the cheese to the tops of the burgers because it will melt slightly in the hot pan.
Serve burgers on toasted buns (just 3-4 minutes under the broiler will do the trick) and top with a dollop of Green Lava
