Big, bold, and smoky — this burger is all Texas. Mixing our Smoky Mesquite Chipotle Marinade & Sauce right into the patties gives you juicy, flavorful burgers with that mesquite depth and chipotle heat. Top it off with avocado and pepper jack for a backyard classic that’s anything but ordinary.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
- ½ cup Texan Heartland Smoky Mesquite Chipotle Marinade & Sauce (plus extra for topping)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 4 burger buns, lightly toasted
- Lettuce and tomato slices (optional)
Directions
- Mix the patties: In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, ½ cup of Texan Heartland Smoky Mesquite Chipotle Marinade & Sauce, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until just combined — don’t overwork the meat. Form into 4 equal patties.
- Grill or pan-sear: Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness (160°F internal for ground beef).
- Add cheese: Place a slice of pepper jack on each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover briefly to melt.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread extra Texan Heartland Smoky Mesquite Chipotle Marinade & Sauce on toasted buns. Layer lettuce and tomato if using, then add the burger patty. Top with avocado slices.
- Serve and enjoy: Pair with fries, chips, or a side salad — and maybe a cold beer for the full backyard experience.
