FIRE EATER GUACAMOLE BURGER
Ingredients
1 tbsp. Kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. chipotle powder
1.5 lbs. ground beef (preferably an 80/20 blend)
1 cup Ms. Renfro's Habanero Salsa (or similar extra-hot salsa)
2 large jalapenos, sliced
8 slices Tillamook Hot Habanero Jack Cheese (or similar extra-hot cheese)
Fiery guacamole (recipe follows)
4 brioche buns, split
Instructions
Prepare grill for high heat cooking, approximately 450 degrees.
Combine salt, pepper, and chipotle powder in a small bowl and blend well. Form ground beef into four 6oz. patties and season both sides of the patties liberally with the seasoning mix. Grill burgers for approximately 5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees for medium, topping each one with 2 slices of hot habanero jack cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Remove the burger patties from the grill. Spread habanero salsa on the bottom half of each bun, top with 4-6 slices of jalapeños, and the burger patty. Top the patties with guacamole, add the top bun, and serve immediately.
