Preparation

Step 1

Prepare a gas grill for direct-heat cooking over medium heat.

Gently mix pork, chipotle, garlic, and a scant tsp salt until just combined.

Form into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.
Oil grill rack, then grill patties, covered, 4 minutes.

Flip patties and top with a slice of cheese.

Grill, covered, until just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Spread buns with mayonnaise and assemble burgers with tomatillo, avocado, and cilantro.

COOKS NOTE: Burgers can be grilled in an oiled hot 2-burner grill pan over medium heat, about 10 minutes total.
