Ingredients
- 1 large poblano chile pepper
- 14 oz. bag frozen onion rings
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 cup spicy ketchup
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- Grated zest and juice of 1 small lime
- 1 1/4 lbs. ground beef
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 4 sesame hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 4 small romaine lettuce leaves
Directions
-
Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano on a baking sheet and broil, turning, until charred in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Reduce the oven temp and bake the onion rings as directed. Season with salt, pepper and 1/4 tsp chili powder and 1/4 tsp cumin.
-
Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, cilantro, a pinch of lime zest and half of the lime juice in a small bowl; add more lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Mix the ground beef, 1/2 tsp lime zest and remaining 1 3/4 tsp chili powder and 3/4 tsp cumin in a large bowl with your hand until just combined. Form into 4 patties; season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare.
-
Peel, stem and seed the broiled poblano; cut into strips. Place the burgers on the buns with the ketchup sauce, lettuce and poblano. Serve with the onion rings and the remaining ketchup sauce.
