  • Chipotle Sauce
  • 1 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
  • 3 tablespoons TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  • Patties
  • 1 1/2 lbs.ground chuck
  • 1 tablespoon TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 medium white onion, chopped fine
  • 1 egg
  • Vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
  • 6 small flour tortillas
  • 1 package shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 2 cups of chopped lettuce
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 lemon, quartered

directions

  • 1

    Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

  • 2

    To make the Chipotle Sauce, combine 1 cup of Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing, with 3 tablespoons of the TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce and mix thoroughly and set aside.

  • 3

    To make the patties, combine the ground chuck, TABASCO Chipotle Pepper Sauce, salt, pepper, white onion and egg. Gently mix to combine the ingredients. Divide the mixture into 3 equal portions and form the portions into large thin patties (approximately the same size as the tortilla).

  • 4

    When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium.

  • 5

    During the final minutes of grilling the patties, place the 6 tortillas on the grill to warm (careful not to over cook). Remove tortillas and place in aluminum foil to keep warm. Transfer the patties onto a platter and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.

  • 6

    To assemble the burgers begin by cutting each pattie in half (1/2 for each tortilla). Spread a generous amount of the Chipotle Ranch Sauce onto half of a tortilla, cover with a handful of shredded lettuce, top lettuce with half a pattie, add a half slice of tomato, drizzle more Chipotle Ranch Sauce on top of tomato, spread a layer of the mashed avocado onto the remaining half of the tortilla, sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning, and fold tortilla over. Cut in half and serve.
