    A juicy beef patty topped with melted cheese and roasted New Mexico green chiles — the state’s signature burger.

    The Land of Enchantment burger

    New Mexico’s answer to the burger: roasted green chiles and melted cheese over a griddled patty, on a toasted bun.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Divide the beef into 4 patties and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
    3. Cook the patties 3-4 minutes per side, topping each with cheese and a generous pile of green chiles in the last minute so both melt together.
    4. Toast the buns in the drippings.
    5. Build the burgers and serve immediately.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Hatch chiles are the gold standard — in season, roast and freeze them for year-round burgers. Let the chiles warm with the cheese for the full effect.
