These are really good. Quick and easy. Based on Rachel Ray with some changes.
Ingredients:
1 1/3 lbs ground chicken
3 -5 drops hot sauce
2 -3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon ground dried chipotle powder, a palm full (smoky flavor)
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 slices monterey jack pepper cheese
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 bell peppers (red or green-seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 jalapenos or 1 serrano pepper, seeded and chopped
4 crusty rolls
sour cream
salsa (optional)
Directions:
1. Combine chicken, chipotle powder, cilantro, hot sauce. Score and divide meat into 4 sections and form big patties, 1-inch thick. Drizzle patties with extra-virgin olive oil and cook 6 minutes on each side or until meat is firm and cooked through. Top with cheese to melt. (Grill or cook indoors.).
2. Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and peppers and onions. Stir-fry the veggies tossing them with tongs to sear them at edges. Add the jalapeno or serrano pepper. Toss and turn the mixture about 3 minutes.
3. Spread sour cream on insides of buns. Place burgers on each bun bottom and top with 1/4 of the pepper and onion mixture and bun top.
4. Can also top with salsa.
