Chipotle Burgers with Avocado

Are you loving summer so far? It is so hard to believe that it is already late August and the kids will be going back to school next weekend. Thankfully, we are still getting some beautiful, although a little hot, weather to end our summer break. We’re planning a fun end of summer BBQ for Labor Day and I was thinking chipotle burgers with avocado would be the perfect thing to serve.

I love the smoky flavor of this burger and my favorite drink for it is a glass of JaM Cabernet! We love enjoying a glass of JaM Cabernet at our BBQs because it is berry-licious and has a great mass appeal so that we know all of our guests will enjoy it. The JaM Cabernet is made in the California tradition of rich, bold and luscious and, because they are easily found in local stores, it is a great way to bring California wines to tables all around the country.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced

4 onion hamburger buns
Salsa:
1 avocado, chopped

  1. Oh wow…that looks too good to be true! Thank you for linking up to the Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesday, I can’t wait to see what you come up with next week!

  2. That burger looks so delicious! Unfortunately, I don’t eat spicy food, but I had to comment because it does look delicious!

    1. Thanks! You can definitely tone down how spicy it is and just leave it as more of a smoky flavor by using less chipotle pepper in the recipe.

  3. Hi Shannah! This burger looks scrumptious! I just have two questions: can I substitute the ground beef for ground turkey? and what is ‘adobo’ sauce? and where can I buy that? Oops! I guess that’s three questions. This really looks delicious and I’m sure my family will love it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Pinning! ๐Ÿ˜›

    1. Hi! Yes, you can most definitely substitute the ground beef for ground turkey. The fat content will be lower so you might up the liquid just a small amount to make up for it.
      My chiles in adobo sauce are usually found in the Mexican aisle of the grocery store. Here is an example: http://amzn.to/2c9jqBF
