Chopped cilantro, divided
1/2 teaspoon + 1/4 teaspoon
Chipotle chili powder, divided

Salt & pepper, to taste
4 slices
Colby jack or pepper jack cheese
4

Prepared guacamole (optional)
Salsa (optional)
- In a small bowl combine lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon oregano & 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. (Burgers have been pre-seasoned with salt and pepper, so don't add those here!)
- Rub mixture on all sides of burgers and let sit while prepping vegetables for burgers.
- Mix together in a small bowl: 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, plus add salt & pepper to taste.
- Set aside until ready to season the sauteed vegetables.
- In a cast iron skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil) over medium high heat.
- Add sliced peppers and onions, sauteing until tender (3-5 minutes).
- Add in minced garlic & fajita seasoning for vegetables & cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent spices from burning.
- Remove from pan and keep warm.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to warm skillet, and place burgers in pan.
- Cook for about 6-9 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of each burger reaches 165°F.

You may also want to cover with a lid or aluminum foil once both sides are browned to help speed up the cooking process.)
- Once the correct temperature is reached, place cheese slices on burgers and allow to melt slightly; remove from pan and assemble burgers.
- To assemble, spread prepared guacamole over the bottom portion of the bun, top with the burger and add a spoonful of salsa.
- Place sauteed vegetables on top of salsa & finally place top half of bun on burger.
