Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Prepare a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil by creating drainage holes with a grilling fork; set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, 1 cup of salsa, 1/2 cup of crushed tortilla chips, 1/2 cup of chopped green onions, garlic salt, and chili powder. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the beef. Gently shape the mixture into 8 patties, each approximately 4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

03

Step

10 mins

Place the prepared foil sheet on the grill grate with the nonstick (dull) side facing up. Immediately place the burger patties on the foil. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Grill the burgers uncovered for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and are no longer pink in the center. While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns. (Cook time: 10 minutes)

05

Step

1 mins

In the last minute of grilling, top each burger with a slice of chipotle Cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt slightly. (Cook time: 1 minute)

06

Step

Carefully remove the burgers from the grill and place them on the toasted buns. Top with the remaining salsa, crushed tortilla chips, and green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of lime juice before serving.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to control the level of spiciness.
Using a meat thermometer is highly recommended to ensure the burgers are cooked to a safe internal temperature.
