Green Chili Chicken Burgers

These burgers are a slightly spicy Southwestern style sandwich. I came up with the idea for these burgers one night when I was feeling really creative, and they were a huge hit with my family.

INGRIDIENT

1 avocado, peeled and pitted

½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

½ teaspoon chili powder

salt and pepper to taste

1 pound ground chicken breast

1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers, drained

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded if desired and finely diced

3 green onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

ground black pepper to taste

4 slices Cheddar cheese

4 hamburger buns, split

1 cup shredded lettuce

⅓ cup salsa

DIRECTION

Step: 1

To make the guacamole, place the avocado, cilantro, sour cream, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor and pulse until smooth..

Step: 2

Mix chicken, canned chiles, jalapeno pepper, green onions, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into 4 patties.

Step: 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.

Step: 4

Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill each patty 5 minutes per side, until well done. Move the patties to a cooler area of the grill to keep warm, and top each patty with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Lightly grill the buns while the cheese is melting.

Step: 5

Spread the bottom of each bun with guacamole, and top with 1/4 cup of shredded lettuce and a grilled chicken burger. Spoon 1 tablespoon of salsa on each burger and top with the other half of the bun to serve.
