1

Fire roast 2 hatch green chilies using a broiler or direct heat until the skin is charred.

2

Place the roasted chilies in a plastic bag to sweat the skin off, then remove the tops and slice them up.

3

Preheat a blackstone griddle on medium-high heat, leaving one side off for indirect cooking.

4

Form 2 quarter-pound patties from the ground beef and season one side with kosher salt.

5

Score the patties with a spatula to prevent them from cupping while cooking.

6

Place the patties on the griddle and cook until juices pool on top, indicating readiness to flip.

7

Flip the patties and add sliced roasted green chilies and cheddar cheese on top to melt.

8

Toast the burger buns on the griddle until lightly browned.

9

Assemble the burger by spreading mustard on the bottom bun, adding 4 pickles, 2 tomato slices, hand-pulled lettuce, and 2 rings of onion.

10

Add the first patty with melted cheese and chilies, then place the second patty on top, and crown with the top bun.
