Smoky Chipotle Burger Patties

It’s hard to resist a burger of any kind.
Try this tasty version for a full-flavored experience.
The spicy component can be adapted to any form of chili sauce used in your part of the world – we’ve used a South American flavor here, but Thai, Singapore, Malaysia… your versions work equally well for a delicious variation on a conventional burger.

For best results, spread out your meat mix and add the spicing directly over the meat.

For a final flourish, cover with some melted tasty cheese.
But this can be left out if your focus this week is on non-dairy recipes. Try it both ways!
