These burgers were inspired by the recipe for chile rellenos, Mexican stuffed peppers. The result is a chile relleno on a bun: a thick beef patty topped with a spicy Mexican sauce, melting cheese, and roasted poblano peppers. This chile pepper is quite meaty, has a mild flavor, and is perfect for juicy sandwiches.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


Hamburgers

  • 2 large poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeds removed
  • 700 g of ground beef neck
  • Mexican tomato sauce, recipe below
  • 200 g Monterey Jack cheese slices
  • 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Mexican tomato sauce

  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 5 sprigs of fresh cilantro
  • 900 g ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped (remove cores)
  • 1 serrano pepper with seeds
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • A quarter of a medium onion

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place poblano peppers, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and broil until charred, 7-8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel the peppers. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Form the ground beef into four 2-cm-thick patties; use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each patty. Sprinkle the skillet with salt and cook the patties until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

  3. Flip, then top each patty with a little Mexican tomato sauce, cheese slices, and half a poblano pepper. Cover and cook until the patties are cooked through and the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. Serve on buns with the remaining Mexican sauce for dipping.

    Mexican tomato sauce


    Combine the garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, serrano chile, cinnamon, onion, and 1 tablespoon of salt in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the tomato puree to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
