3. Next prepare the burgers by combining the ground beef, chipotle peppe, adobo sauce, salt and pepper; mix well to combine, then divide into 2 patties to fit your buns.
4. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add just enough oil to form a thin film, about 2 tablespoons; add burgers and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes.
5. Flip and top with cheese.
6. Cover pan with aluminum foil and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
7. To assemble the burgers, spread the chipotle crema on each cut side of buns; sprinkle minced papalo leaves (or cilantro and watercress) on cut side of bun tops.
8. On the bottom halves, sprinkle tortilla chips, then top with a burger patty, a slice of onion, and avocado spread.
