- Four slices of red onion
And here’s how to make the green chile cheeseburgers for yourself:
- Heat up the grill or you can use a stovetop with a grill pan. Next, season the beef with the salt and pepper and create four patties out of the meat. Start to cook the burger patties for about three to four minutes until nicely charred. Then, immediately flip over the patties and top them with a tablespoon of chiles and a slice of Swiss cheese. Tomatoes and red onion are included on last.
- You can also toast the buns beforehand for an extra boost of flavor and even add in lettuce for crispness once the patties have cooled down.
