Flame-Grilled Chicken Fajita & Green Chile Burger Patties

Yields: 4-6 patties

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 10-12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken

  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion

  • 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color, or a mix!)

  • 1 (4 oz) can mild green chilies, drained and finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for binding)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Let cool slightly.

  2. Mix the Magic: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture, chopped green chilies, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper.

  3. Form the Patties: Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough. If your mixture feels a bit loose, add the breadcrumbs and mix lightly. Form into 4-6 evenly sized patties. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during grilling.

  4. Get Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil.

  5. Flame-Grill to Perfection: Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. You'll get those beautiful, smoky char marks that truly enhance the fajita flavor!

Serving Suggestions:

  • Classic Fajita Style: Serve on toasted brioche or sesame seed buns with your favorite fajita toppings: sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and a squeeze of lime.

  • Low-Carb Delight: Wrap your patty in large lettuce leaves with all the fresh toppings.

  • Bowl It Up: Crumble the cooked patty over a bed of cilantro lime rice or quinoa with black beans and corn salsa.

Don't just take our word for it – try this recipe this week and prepare to be amazed! This burger is a game-changer, bringing bold, vibrant flavors to your summer grilling rotation.

Slow Cooker Chili Recipe

Image
  While most standard chili recipes are designed for ground meat to simmer all day, incorporating seafood like shrimp requires a specific technique to avoid overcooking. Below is a slow cooker adaptation of spicy shrimp and bean chili based on the flavors of traditional stovetop recipes, which naturally include jalapeños for a "spicy" kick. Key Slow Cooker Technique for Shrimp Because shrimp cook in only 3–5 minutes, you cannot add them at the beginning of a all-day slow cook, or they will become rubbery. The Rule: Cook the chili base (beans, tomatoes, spices, jalapeños) for 6–8 hours on Low, then add raw shrimp during the last 15–30 minutes of cooking time. Slow Cooker Spicy Bean and Shrimp Jalapeño Chili This recipe combines the hardiness of a bean chili with the unique texture of large shrimp. For the spiciest version, keep the seeds in the jalapeños. Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 6–8 hours (Low) + 20 minutes for shrimp Yield: 4–6 servings Ingredients Category Ing...
