Bacon-Avocado Burger with Chipotle Mayonnaise

For the chipotle mayonnaise:

1/2 cup of mayonnaise

1 can of chipotle pepper in adobo sauce seeded and minced

2 teaspoons of adobo sauce

2 teaspoons of fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika

For the burger:

4 slices of bacon

1 1/2 pounds of 80% lean ground beef

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon of chili powder

3/4 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper

4 slices of aged white cheddar cheese

4 onion rolls sliced hotizontally

4 slices of beefsteak tomato about 1/4-inch thick

4 thin slices of red onion

1 Hass avocado peeled, pitted and cut into 16 slices

1. Combine the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and paprika in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Cook the bacon and set aside.
3. Make the burgers: combine the beef, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix to combine, taking care that you do not overwork the beef. Form the mixture into four patties about 1/2 inch thick and press your thumb down in the center of each burger to form a depression. (This helps the burgers cook more evenly).
4. Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat until hot. Add the patties and cook 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and top each with a slice of cheese; cook 4 minutes
