Ingredients:
1 lb ground round
1 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 large egg, beaten
1 small ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 hamburger buns with sesame seeds
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups peeled canned tomatoes, chopped and drained well again
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and well drained
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, diced
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions:
1. To make the queso: in a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add in the onion and stir/saute 5-7 minutes or until softened.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, cheese, chipotle powder and cumin, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted; keep warm on very low heat.
3. To make the bugers: Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a large bowl until well combined.
4. Gently fold in the avocado; form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat; cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, 2-4 minutes per side for medium rare.
6. Serve on toasted sesame seed buns; top with a generous dollop of Spicy Chili Con Queso.
