Ingredients

Green Chili Sauce
2 poblano chiles (see Recipe #) or 2 hatch chiles, grilled, peeled, seeded and chopped (see Recipe #)
1 medium red onion, grilled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 2 tablespoons oregano or 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped

Burgers
2 lbs ground chuck
salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 slices monterey jack cheese or 8 slices provolone cheese
romaine lettuce
pickled jalapeno pepper
sliced beefsteak tomato
6 hamburger buns

Preparation

Sauce:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste. (A water if necessary to achieve the proper consistency.).
Burgers:
Heat grill to high. Form meat into 6 burgers and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to desired doneness.
Place 2 slices of the cheese on each burger; close the lid or tent with foil and cook until the cheese has just melted, about 1 minute.
Place burgers on bun and top with green chili sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and pickled jalapeno, if desired.
Note: Use high heat. A great tasting burger needs only to be on the grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side to arrive at a perfect medium doneness.
