About
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers • 1 teaspoon lime juice • 1/8 teaspoon salt • 1 pound ground chicken • 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander • 1 tablespoon butter, melted • 4 hamburger buns • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped • 4 slices pepper jack cheese • 1/2 cup prepared pico de gallo

Recipe

  1. 1
    Stir mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, lime juice, and the 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine ground chicken, chipotle peppers, queso fresco, salt, and ground coriander. Form into 4 patties and place on squares of parchment paper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to help patties firm up.
  2. 2
    Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush skillet with butter and toast buns, cut side down, until lightly browned, about 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
  3. 3
    Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Fry burgers until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 3 minutes per side. Turn heat off. Place cheese slices over patties and cover with a lid, letting the residual heat melt the cheese.
  4. 4
    Spread chipotle mayo on bottom buns and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cilantro. Add chicken patty and top with pico de gallo.
