Form Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
-
Grill Burgers:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- Place the patties on the grill, uncovered, about 4 inches from the heat source.
- Cook the burgers to your desired degree of doneness, turning them once halfway through the cooking time.
- Avoid mashing the burgers with a spatula to retain their juices.
-
Add Cheese:
- One minute before the burgers are done, top each patty with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve:
- Remove the burgers from the grill and assemble them on hamburger buns.

Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy these El Paso Burgers with grilled corn on the cob and a freshly tossed salad for a complete meal that’s bursting with Tex Mex flavors.
Tips:
- For a juicier burger, refrain from pressing down on the patties while they cook and use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach the desired internal temperature.
- Customize your burgers by adding toppings such as avocado slices, jalapenos, or salsa for an extra kick of flavor.
- Substitute the ground chuck with lean ground beef or turkey for a lighter option without compromising on taste.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill before assembling the burgers to add a crispy texture to each bite.
Enjoy your mouthwatering El Paso Burgers, perfect for a quick and delicious meal any time of day! 🍔🌶️🧀
