Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
4 burgers
Ingredients
  • 1 ¼ pounds ground beef
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chipotles in adobo, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups Colby jack cheese
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
Directions
  1. Preheat a grill to medium heat. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef and the salt. Form it into 4 patties.
  2. Grill the burgers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the desired doneness is reached.
  3. While the burgers are cooking, stir together the mayonnaise, chipotles in adobo, and lime juice.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet or on an electric griddle over medium heat. Place 4 tortillas on the griddle and top with half the cheese. Place a burger on each cheese-topped tortilla.
  5. Top each burger with a spoonful of the mayonnaise mixture, spreading it around the burger.
  6. Divide the pico de gallo and shredded lettuce between the burgers.
  7. Carefully remove the burger-topped tortillas from the skillet once the cheese has melted.
  8. Melt the remaining butter in the skillet. Add the remaining 4 tortillas, and top the tortillas with the remaining cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy on the bottom.
  9. Place the tortillas, cheese side down, on top of the shredded lettuce-topped burgers. Serve immediately.
