Ingredients

How to make it

  • Broil the jalapeno chiles in the oven or in a cast iron skillet on the grill until the chiles soften and the skin is charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, cover and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the stems, skin and seeds; finely chop the chiles.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef and half of the chiles. Form into 6 patties; season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the queso fresco or Feta, mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1 Tablespoon olive oil and the remaining chiles. Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate.
  • In another bowl, toss the avocados, cilantro, onion and remaining 1 Tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
  • Grill the burgers, flipping once, for about 7 minutes for medium rare. Just before the burgers are finished cooking, grill the buns until toasted, about 1 minute. Place a burger on each bun bottom, top with some of the avocado salad, drizzle with some of the queso fresco or Feta dressing and set a bun top in place.
