Ingredients

  • For the Cheese Sauce:
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and diced
  • ¼ Cup Diced Roasted Red Peppers
  • ¼ Cup Diced Red Onion
  • 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ Cup Milk
  • 1 Cup Shredded Pepperjack Cheese
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Cilantro
  • For the Burger:
  • 1 Pound Ground Lean Angus Beef
  • 2-4 Buns depending on how big you want the burgers.
  • 2-4 Dashes Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ Cup Vegetarian Refried Beans or Refried Back Beans
  • ½ Avocado smashed
  • Handful of Tortilla Chips

Instructions

  1. First, set the broiler to high. Mash a spoonful of the refried beans on each bottom bun. Place the buns with the beans on a baking sheet lined with tin foil. Form either two large burger patties or four small burger patties, depending on how hungry you are. Press the burger patties into the beans. Top each patty with a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a sliver of unsalted butter. Set off to the side.
  2. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, roasted red pepper, and onion. Sauté for two minutes. Whisk in the flour. Cook for a minute.
  3. Whisk in the milk. Bring to a simmer, whisk in the cheese. Turn the heat to low. Mix in the salt, pepper, and cilantro. When the cheese melts, cover with lid, and then turn off the burner.
  4. Place the burgers under the broiler, leaving the door to the oven cracked open, for 10 minutes for a medium burger. After ten minutes, remove from the oven and set off to the side to rest.
  5. Toast the top buns under the broiler for a minute or two, until slightly golden. Smash some avocado into the top bun. Assemble the burgers by adding some cheese sauce to the top of each beef patty. Top with some crumbled tortilla chips and the top bun and then serve.
