Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 burger buns, toasted
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced red onions
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional, for extra spice)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine your ground chicken with finely chopped chipotles, adobo sauce, and all those delicious spices.
  2. With wet hands, shape your mixture into four equal-sized patties.
  3. You can grill or pan-fry these beauties! Cook each patty for about 5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Prepare your creamy chipotle sauce by mixing mayonnaise with additional chopped chipotles, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt.
  5. Toast your burger buns if desired. Spread your homemade sauce on both sides of each bun and layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and pickled jalapeños. Place your perfectly cooked patty on top.
