What You'll Need
Yield: 1 serving (burger)
| Qty | Ingredient |
| 1 each | hamburger bun, toasted (brioche or potato-style) |
| 1 each | 4 oz seasoned beef patty (80/20 blend) |
| 1½ Tbsp | Custom Culinary® True Foundations® Latin-Style Citrus Chili Sauce (divided) |

Preparation
- Place the beef patty on a flat top or grill. As it cooks, brush both sides with ½ Tbsp True Foundations® Latin Citrus Chili Sauce. This allows the sauce to caramelize and infuse the patty with bold citrus-chili flavor.
- In the final minute of cooking, place the cheddar slice on the patty and cover (if possible) to melt.
- Aioli Spread: Mix 1 Tbsp True Foundations® Latin Citrus Chili Sauce with 1 Tbsp mayonnaise to create the Latin Citrus Chili aioli.
- Lightly toast both sides of the bun until golden and warm.
- Assemble:
- Bottom bun: Spread half of the aioli. Add shredded lettuce and tomato slices.
- Middle: Place the sauced and cheesy patty on top. Add avocado, pickled onions, and optional jalapeños.
- Top bun: Spread remaining aioli and close the sandwich. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
