Ingredients
- 16 ounces ground bison - or other ground meat
- 2 ounces cotija - crumbled
- 1 corn tortilla - pulse in process to coarse crumbs
- 1 egg - whisked
- 2 green chiles (Hatch, poblano, Anaheim) - roasted, peeled, stemmed, seeded
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon red chile powder - chipotle, ancho, New Mexico (not generic chili powder)
- 1 egg - whisked
Instructions
- Combine the ground meat, and all other ingredients. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about ¾-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper just before cooking.
- Grill or toast hamburger rolls if desired. Cook patties on medium-high heat in a pan with a little oil, 3–5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
- Let the burgers rest for 3–5 minutes before serving to retain juices. Serve on a grilled or toasted bun with your favorite toppings!
Notes
My preferred brand of ground bison is 14 ounces. It is free-range and leaner than the other brand that is 16 ounces. Either weight will make 4 generous burgers.
Macros include the burger patties and Nature's Own keto hamburger buns (60 calories each). They DO NOT INCLUDE any toppings.
