Ingredients & Cooking

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped onion
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 Butter, romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
1 onion, thinly sliced

Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.

Cook's Tip:
