Jalapeno Burgers With Chipotle Mayo

• For the burgers
• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
• couple grinds of fresh black pepper
• 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices Monterrey Jack cheese
• For the chipotle mayo
• 3 finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/2 cup mayo (or for a healthier version use equal parts mayo and nonfat Greek yogurt)

1. In a small pan, over medium heat, saute the jalapeno and onion with one tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt if desired, and let cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the meat, salt, the rest of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and the jalapeno and onion mixture. Mix until it's just combined, the more you mix the beef, the tougher your patties will be.
3. Lightly form into 4 hamburger patties and press lightly into shape.
4. Prepare a charcoal or a stove-top grill.
5. Cook the hamburgers for 4 minutes on 1 side, then turn and cook 3 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the buns, cut side down, for 1 minute, until toasted.
6. Place a hamburger and a slice of Monterrey Jack in each bun, spread the chipotle mayo on each piece of bread and add whatever toppings you desire, and serve hot.
7. Combine the mayo, chipotle pepper and lime juice in a small bowl. Mix until well incorporated, add salt and pepper if desired.
