Serves: 4

Green Chili Sauce

2 poblano chilies, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 medium red onion, grilled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh epazote, oregano or cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup water
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and season with salt
and pepper to taste.

Burgers

2 lbs ground chuck
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices Chihuahua or provolone cheese
Romaine lettuce
Pickled Jalapenos
Sliced beefsteak tomatoes
4 hamburger buns

Method:

Heat grill to high. Form meat into four 8-ounce burgers and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to desired doneness. Place 2 slices of the cheese on each burger; close the lid or tent with foil and cook until the cheese has just melted, about 1 minute. Place burgers on bun and top with green chili sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pickled jalapeno, if desired.

Note: Use high heat. A great tasting burger needs only to be on the grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side to arrive at a perfect medium doneness.
