Stuffed Pickled Chile Burger Grande Recipes

Steps:

• Make the salsa: In a medium bowl, mix together onion, tomato, salt, Serrano chile and cilantro. This salsa tastes best when it's fresh, so don't set aside for too long.
• Prepare a charcoal barbecue or light the broiler. When hot, roast the chiles.
• Place chiles on a rack very close to the glowing coals, or on a baking sheet quite close to broiler flames. Using tongs, turn chiles occasionally until they are completely black and blistered all over. Alternatively, roast over stovetop flames. Set roasted chiles aside for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
• Cut each chile in half lengthwise, then scrape away skins and seeds with a pairing knife. Do not rinse: A few bits of char are fine. Wipe chile "fillets" with a paper towel if you wish. Slice cleaned chiles lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips and set aside. (It's fine to roast chiles in advance, even a day or two ahead.)
• Divide ground meat into 6-ounce balls, and press them into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties on both sides with salt and pepper.
• If grilling over coals, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger's juices start appearing. Move burgers to a cooler spot on the grill and let cheese continue to melt.
• If cooking on stovetop, heat a cast-iron pan or ridged grill pan over high heat. When hot, cook burgers over brisk heat, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Add sliced cheese when the burger juices start appearing. Turn off heat and let cheese continue to melt, or place pan under broiler.
• Place a cheeseburger on the bottom half of each bun. Adorn each burger generously with strips of roasted chile. Top the burgers with buns and serve immediately, accompanied by avocado slices and tomato salsa.

Steps:

• 1. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Combine cilantro, lime juice, ranch dressing in a blender and blend until smooth. (chill until serving)
• 2. Mix ground beef with cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper mix with large spoon but hands work best until well mixed.
• 3. Form patties about 1/8 of thickness. Place patties onto parchment paper. Take about a tablespoon of each type cheese and put in the middle of 4 patties. Take plain patty and carefully top cheese patty. Gently press patties edges together until all side are closed with no cheese showing.
• 4. Place patty on a grill and cook on each side for 5 min or desired cook temp or cooks preference. Toast bun on the grill for 2-3 min. Remove dressing from the refrigerator. Build the burger by adding the stuffed burger to bottom bun. Add a tablespoon of diced green chilies to patty on top of green chilies add the desired amount of the french fried onions, Dress the top bun with cilantro lime ranch dressing. Cut gently with a sharp knife to show the stuffed center guest will enjoy it!
