8 servings

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, halved, divided
  • 1 small red bell pepper, halved, divided
  • 1 small red onion, halved, divided
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 ½ teaspoons adobo seasoning (such as Goya®)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Mexican seasoning mix (such as Goya® Sazonador Total)
  • 8 slices pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 8 tablespoons Mexican-style sour cream, or to taste
  • 8 hamburger buns, split

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Slice 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, 1/2 of the bell pepper, and 1/2 of the onion into rings for topping. Set aside.
  • Combine ground chicken and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; season with adobo seasoning, cumin, and Mexican seasoning. Add remaining peppers and onion. Pulse until mixture is combined. Shape into 8 burgers.
  • Place burgers on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a drip tray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place 1 slice of pepper Jack cheese on top of each burger. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno slices on top.
  • Spread Mexican sour cream onto each hamburger bun. Top with a chicken burger and serve immediately.
