All of your favorite fajita flavors rolled into a burger! You will love this Chicken Fajita Burger with Roasted Peppers and Chipotle Mayonnaise! (Plus a giveaway, details below!)
Check out this Chicken Fajita Burger with Roasted Peppers and Chipotle Mayonnaise! Such an easy burger recipe packed with flavor! I love making burgers for dinner. When I don’t know what to make for dinner, burgers are always the answer! Have you ever used ground chicken instead of turkey or beef? Ground chicken burgers are the best! I love using ground chicken in burger recipes for a few reasons…
- It’s healthy and also inexpensive.
- It’s easy to pair with many different flavor combinations.
- It makes the most flavorful & juiciest burgers!
Okay so now that you know my reasons for choosing ground chicken for my Chicken Fajita Burgers, let’s talk about why these burgers are so flipping delicious. The patties are filled with a combination of delicious spices as well as cilantro, green onions, shallots and garlic. The outcome is an extremely juicy and flavorful burger.
Another amazing thing about this Chicken Fajita Burger? Two words: roasted peppers. Oh my goodness, people. Roasted peppers are my favorite! I took two pasilla peppers and grilled them before grilling my Chicken Fajita Burgers. After they were charred a bit, I pulled them off and put them on a plate and covered in plastic wrap. After I grilled my patties, I cut up the peppers and placed on top, along with my favorite condiments. SO GOOD!!
One of those favorite condiments mentioned above was the Chipotle Mayo you see drizzled on this bad boy. I love chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. I added some light mayo and lime juice to some chopped up peppers and bam. Incredible chipotle mayo! This is one of my favorite burger recipes ever. Now, let’s get to the giveaway!
