8 large lettuce leafs
4 torta rolls
4 wedges of lime
Sour Cream

Instructions:

1. Set grill to 400 degrees

4. Paint the grill with real, unsalted butter
5. Use a cast-iron grill press to sear patty and lock in juices

7. Once the juices start to percolate, flip the burger to keep the juices in
8. Grill the beef patties until they are cooked thoroughly and then remove them from the grill
9. Melt spicy pepper jack cheese on top of each patty
10. Add half of a hand-sliced avocado
11. Add tomato slices
12. Sprinkle a blend of freshly chopped cilantro and onions
13. Add lettuce leaves
14. Top with a scoop of fresh sour cream and chipotle mayo
