God, this is one awesome burger! We tried it the first time after we bought the Sargento Chipotle Cheddar, it was on the back of the pack. Of course, since then they removed the cheese from their product line, and we now had to resort to some other pepper jack cheese and we had to look up the recipe at Sargento’s website and found the Zesty Chipotle Cheddar Burgers.
We used Slimwich buns and some other cheese and Chuck crumbled the chips a little too fine and instead of green onions we had yellow onions. We did have blue tortilla chips so blue chips mixed with the yellow onions makes green.
Give it a try, those are crunchy with the chips, juicy with the salsa and some spicy chili powder and of course the cheese. Very nice mixture own tastes and textures!
Here is a quick run-down of the recipe:
