Instructions

Mix together the ground beef, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, minced onion and seasonings.
Form 4 patties with the ground meat. Use your knuckle to create an indentation in the center of each burger.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
Place the cheese slices onto the patties and transfer to a plate covered with foil to rest while you prepare the sauce.
In a small bow mix together the sauce ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Build your burgers. Spread the mayo sauce on each bun, add the burger and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Cooking time can vary depending on thickness of the patties and the appliance used, so always check your burgers with a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the patty.
For well done, cook a couple minutes longer, for slightly rare, reduce cooking time.
