Smoky Chipotle Burger Patties
One summer evening, Maria was craving a juicy burger with a spicy twist. She decided to make smoky chipotle burger patties for dinner.

She gathered all the necessary ingredients: ground beef, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. She also preheated the grill to medium-high heat.
First, Maria mixed the ground beef with finely minced chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika in a large bowl. She used her hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients.

Next, she shaped the mixture into patties, making sure they were about 1/2 inch thick. She placed the patties on a plate and set them aside.
When the grill was hot, Maria carefully placed the patties on the grate. She grilled them for about 4 minutes on each side, or until they reached the desired level of doneness.

As the patties were grilling, Maria prepared the buns and toppings. She set out lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and her homemade chipotle mayonnaise.
Finally, the patties were ready. Maria assembled the burgers, adding a patty to each bun, followed by the desired toppings. She served the burgers hot, with a side of crisp, refreshing coleslaw.
The smoky chipotle burger patties were a hit. Maria and her family devoured them, savoring the bold flavors and satisfyingly juicy texture. It was the perfect summertime meal.
