Chipotle Corn Burgers -- A smoky spicy summer recipe
Chipotle Corn Burgers were so good, so easy, and a great way to mix things up! Fresh summer sweet corn nicely complements the spicy, smoky chipotle, and the Chipotle Lime Sour Cream adds another layer of smoky creaminess to this fresh twist on the backyard BBQ burger.
Using your hands, combine ground beef, corn, chopped chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce until just mixed.
Form your mixture into half-pound sized patties (makes five). I'd recommend using a burger press for this step.
Grill burgers over medium heat for 6 minutes, then flip carefully and reduce heat to medium-low.
Grill another six minutes, then flip and grill another four. Heads up: The corn sounds like it's popping while these are cooking, so don't be alarmed -- but keep the grill lid closed!
While burgers are grilling, make your Chipotle Lime Sour Cream
In a small bowl, simply combine sour cream, chopped chipotle in adobo, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt.
Serve Chipotle Corn Burgers topped with cheddar cheese, avocado slices, and prepared sour cream. (Add sliced La Morena jalapeños if you want an extra kick.)
