Preparación

1. 1

   Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat.

2. 2

   Drizzle in a little oil, enough to coat the bottom of the pan, and throw in your onions and peppers as soon as the oil begins to shimmer.

3. 3

   Toss the veggies once to mix everything and distribute the oil.

4. 4

   Turn the heat down to medium low and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender and the onions are translucent and beginning to caramelize.

5. 5

   Remove from the heat.

6. 6

   Heat the grill to medium-high heat, and make sure the grill is well greased so the burgers don't stick. (You can totally use a grill pan in the house which is what we did the second time around, and it worked perfectly).

7. 7

   Add the fajita or taco seasoning, diced green chiles and cilantro to the ground turkey in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Pat out each patty, leaving a small indentation in the center to promote even cooking.

8. 8

   Place the burger on the grill, season the other side and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

9. 9

   Meanwhile, in the skillet where the peppers were, add 1/2 cup shredded cheese over medium heat. Once melty, pile 1/4 of the peppers and onions on top.

10. 10

    Spread sauce on a toasted bun, top with burger and then pour the cheese and peppers over the burger. Eat immediately!
