Ingredients

Cilantro Lime Crema

  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema
  • 1 lime zested, juiced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fine chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. agave nectar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Onion Rings

  • 1 large yellow sweet onion sliced in 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • oil for frying

Burgers

  • 1 lb. 80/20 ground chuck divided into four equal patties
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns buttered and lightly grilled
  • 4 large whole jalapeno peppers top stem cut off
  • 4 slices bacon cooked
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup Queso Fresco

Instructions

Cilantro Lime Crema

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl. Reserve for serving over burgers.

Onion Rings

  • Combine milk, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, flour, salt and paprika in a large bowl. Add sliced onions and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator while you heat oil in a high edged pan over medium high heat for frying.
    When oil is heated, remove onion rings from refrigerator, Fry a few at a time, leaving room in the pan so they don't touch and stick together. When golden brown, remove from oil and let sit on a wire rack or paper towel. Season lightly with salt. Repeat until all onion rings are fried.

Burgers

  • In a small pan, heat a 1/4 cup cooking oil over medium low heat. Place jalapenos in pan and roast, turning as each side browns. When fully roasted, remove from pan and set aside until ready to top burger.
  • Season burger patties with salt, pepper and a little cooking oil. Grill until cooked through about 2-3 minutes per side or until 150 -155 degrees as they will continue cooking when taken off the grill. Make sure to add your Monterey Jack cheese as soon as you flip the burgers to the second side.
  • Assemble burgers: Place a little crema on the bottom bun, then a slice of tomato, the burger and top with bacon, roasted jalapeno, cilantro lime crema, queso fresco and a couple onion rings.
