Smoky Burger Sliders with Grilled Pineapple & Chipotle Mayo
- 1- 1/2 pound Ground Beef (about 88% Lean)
- 1 whole Chipotle Pepper, Seeded And Minced
- 2 teaspoons Adobo Sauce (from Chipotle Pepper Can)
- 1/4 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 8 slices Queso Fresco Cheese, Sliced From The Round
- 1/2 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 whole Chipotle Pepper, Seeded & Minced
- 1 teaspoon Adobo Sauce (from Chipotle Pepper Can)
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 whole Large Rings Pineapple (preferably Fresh)
- 8 whole Wheat Dinner Rolls, Split In Half Crosswise
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- The patties: n a medium bowl, combine ground meat, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal pieces and form each into patties that are 2 1/2 to 3-inches in diameter.
- (The patties can be made ahead.
- Place on a baking sheet, cover, and chill.
- Bring to room temperature before grilling.)
- The mayonnaise: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, teaspoon adobo sauce, and lime juice.
- The pineapple: Place pineapple rings on the grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the grill and cut each ring into quarters.
- Putting it together: Place the rolls cut side down on the grill.
- Remove when the cut side is lightly toasted.
- Spread a generous amount of chipotle mayonnaise on each roll.
- Place the meat patties on the grill and cook, lid closed, 5 minutes per side, or until barely cooked through.
- I like a little bit of pink inside to ensure optimal juiciness.
- In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a thin slice of queso fresco cheese.
- Close the lid of the barbecue to melt the cheese.
- Remove the patties from the grill and place one patty on the bottom half of each prepared bun.
- Top each patty with a piece of grilled pineapple and top with the top half of the bun.
- Serve.
