Ingredients:
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, halved, divided
  • 1 small red bell pepper, halved, divided
  • 1 small red onion, halved, divided
  • 2 pounds ground chicken
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1.5 teaspoons adobo seasoning (such as Goya®)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon Mexican seasoning mix (such as Goya® Sazonador Total)
  • 8 slices pepper Jack cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 8 hamburger buns, split
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Slice the jalapeno pepper, bell pepper, and onion into rings for topping, and set aside.
