    Healthy Fajita Burgers



    Total Time: 50 Minutes
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients:


    • 1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
    • 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
    • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
    • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
    • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt substitute
    • 1/3 cup fat-free mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile in adobo
    • 1/2 cup shredded Fat-Free Monterey Jack cheese
    • 4 French rolls, preferably whole-wheat, split and toasted
    • 2 roasted Anaheim or poblano peppers,
    • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
    • 4 slices tomato
    • 4 thin slices red onion



    Preparation


    1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
    2. Place beef, 1/4 cup cilantro, onion, scallions, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, pepper and salt in a large bowl. Gently combine, without overmixing, until evenly incorporated. Form into 4 equal patties, about 1/2 inch thick and oval-shaped to match the rolls.
    3. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, mayonnaise, lime juice and chipotle in a small bowl.
    4. Peel the roasted peppers, halve lengthwise and remove the seeds.
    5. Oil the grill rack. Grill the burgers until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, about 6 minutes per side. Top with cheese and cook until it is melted, about 1 minute more.
    6. Assemble the burgers on toasted rolls with the chipotle mayonnaise, half a roasted pepper, cabbage, tomato and onion.
