Ingredients
- Green Chile Relish:
- 1 medium poblano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
- 2 Hatch chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 serrano chile, roasted, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation
Step 1
Directions
Pickled Red Onions:
1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
Burgers:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
12 blue or yellow corn tortilla chips, coarsely crushed
For the relish:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
For the pickled red onions:
Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Put the onions in a medium bowl, pour the vinegar over, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours before serving.
For the burgers:
Heat a griddle or large saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat until it begins to shimmer.
Shape the ground beef with your hands into 4 round patties about 1 1/2 inches thick and season each burger on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium, about 8 minutes.
Put the burgers on the buns and top each with a few tablespoons of the queso sauce, relish, onions and chips.
