Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, with hand, mix beef, chipotle, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until blended, but do not overmix. Shape beef mixture into four 3 1/2-inch patties, handling meat as little as possible for best texture.

Lightly spray ridged grill pan or 12-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray, then heat on medium until hot.

Place burgers in hot grill pan. For medium, cook 6 minutes, turn burgers over, and cook 3 minutes longer. Top each burger with 1 slice cheese; cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until cheese melts.

To serve, place burgers on buns and top with salsa.
