Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
- 1 1/2 tsp Mexican seasoning
- 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 burger buns
- 4 slices tomato
Instructions:
-
In a medium bowl, combine the lean ground beef, diced jalapeno peppers, and Mexican seasoning, mixing them lightly but thoroughly until well incorporated.
-
-
Shape the beef mixture into four 1/2″ thick patties, ensuring they hold together well without being too compacted.
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat, ensuring the coals are evenly distributed and ash-covered.
-
Place the burger patties on the grill over the medium heat, leaving them uncovered to cook for approximately 14-16 minutes. Flip the burgers once during cooking to ensure even cooking throughout. The centers should no longer be pink when done.
-
About 1 minute before the burgers are finished cooking, sprinkle each patty with 1 tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, allowing it to melt and become gooey.
-
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the burger buns and tomato slices. Slice the burger buns in half and place a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun.
-
Once the burgers are cooked through and the cheese is melted, carefully transfer each burger patty onto a prepared bun with tomato slices.
-
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the burger buns, and serve immediately while still hot and juicy.
