Southwest Sliders w/Chipotle Mayo

I have been inspired!  I saw some cute little home style burgers at a restaurant the other day, and thought I would give my hand at them, but because I can't leave anything alone... I decided to spice things up a bit and add a little Southwest pizazz!!

I like to call them Southwest Sliders, but William refers to them as  SKY BURGERS. ( free iPhone app, you'll have to check it out)


Southwest Sliders w/Chipotle Mayo

Burgers:
  • 2 lbs. Ground Beef
  • 1 (10oz) can Rotel original
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  1. Mix Beef, rotel, eggs, onion powder and garlic salt
  2. Form into 2 inch balls and flatten into a patty (making middle slightly indented)
  3. Preheat Grill on Medium heat  cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.

Chipotle Mayonnaise
  • 1 c  mayonnaise or light mayonnaise (do not use salad dressing, it will be too watery)
  • 2 chipotle peppers with 1 tbs adobo sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  1. Chop peppers,adobo sauce, and lime juice in a food processor until smooth texture.
  2. Stir mixture into Mayonnaise
  3. Keep refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Use Mayo on Burgers, Sandwiches, and Fajitas.
Spread mayo on both sides of potato roll, add a southwest patty, and top with all your favorites.
We used American Cheese, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

  2. Stacey, Thank you!! I had someone recommend to me to fit as much of the food in the frame as possible, I think that is the best trick. But I promise, most of my pics arn't that great. :)
