Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-205°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground beef, diced onion, minced chipotle peppers, and taco seasoning. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and gently shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging while cooking. (4 minutes)

04

Step

Grill the Burgers: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 7-10 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. For a more well-done burger, cook to 165°F (74°C). (14-20 minutes)

05

Step

Rest and Serve: Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving on your favorite buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, guacamole, or any other desired toppings.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro to the burger mixture.
If you prefer a spicier burger, leave some of the chipotle seeds in when dicing the peppers.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of chipotle mayo to complement the smoky flavors.
Consider toasting the buns on the grill for the last minute of cooking to add a nice texture.
Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the ground beef. Adjust cooking times accordingly.

    Great recipe! I added a little bit of cumin to the mixture for even more flavor. Will make again for sure!

  • Jerrold Anderson

    These burgers were amazing! The chipotle peppers added the perfect amount of smoky heat. I'll definitely be making these again!

  • Oswaldo Koepparmstrong

    Easy to follow and delicious! I didn't have chipotle peppers, so I used chipotle powder instead and it was still great.

  • Dudley Stracke

    I was skeptical about the taco seasoning, but it worked so well! The burgers were juicy and flavorful. My family loved them.
