Method

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck with kosher salt, granulated garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Mix gently and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Divide the seasoned meat into five equal portions and shape into patties, making a slight indentation in the center.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the sweet onions and peppers for 8-10 minutes until caramelized.
Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the veggies.
Grill the patties for about 6 minutes on each side until fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on a toasted bun, topping with sautéed veggies, and adding your desired toppings.
