-
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.

the flavors of the green chile sauce are wonderful. i used cilantro, and i used smoked rather than grilled onions because i had some leftover. i made the burgers with the chile sauce, cheddar cheese, and sliced avocados. the recipe was a bit "sparse" on directions when it came to making the sauce.
