Adobo Burger Recipe
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 2 1/4 teaspoons adobo seasoning
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 ear fresh corn, shucked and kernels scraped from cob
- 4 Kaiser rolls, split
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup queso fresco (Mexican fresh cheese), crumbled
- 1 Hass avocado–peeled, pitted and thinly sliced lengthwise
- Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning, onion and lime peel and set aside. Spread the corn kernels in a single layer on the griddle and allow them to cook, undisturbed, until charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
- Meanwhile, reduce the heat under the griddle to medium. Form the meat mixture into 4 patties and cook for 4 minutes per side for medium.
- During the last minute of cooking, toast the rolls, cut side down, on the grill.
- Once the corn kernels have cooled, stir in the mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning. Spread the corn-queso mayonnaise on the toasted side of each roll. Top each roll bottom with the avocado slices and a patty, then set the roll tops into place.
