For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken patties instead of pan-frying. The smoky char adds a delightful dimension to the burger. Adjust the number of chipotle peppers to your liking. For a milder flavor, use only 1 pepper and remove the seeds. If you don't have queso fresco, crumbled feta cheese makes a good substitute. For a creamier sauce, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the chipotle mayo. Serve with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt until smooth. Set aside the vibrant chipotle mayo. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, minced chipotle peppers, queso fresco, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ground coriander. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Place each patty on a square of parchment paper and refrigerate for 10 minutes to help them firm up, ensuring a perfectly juicy burger. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
03
StepPreheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the skillet with melted butter and toast the hamburger buns, cut-side down, until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside the toasted buns. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
04
StepHeat the vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chicken patties in the skillet and fry until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Turn off the heat, top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese, and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese, creating a gooey, delicious topping. (Cook time: 8 minutes)
05
StepSpread a generous amount of chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro over the mayo. Place a cheesy chicken patty on top and finish with a generous spoonful of fresh pico de gallo. Crown with the top bun and serve immediately. (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

Jun 9, 2025I found the burgers a little too spicy for my taste, but I'll reduce the amount of chipotle peppers next time.
