• ON THE GRILL:
• Preheat grill
• Use a food thermometer to be sure patties reach minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Helpful Hints: Poblano (po BLAH no) peppers have long, irregular bell-pepper shapes and a deep green color. Their medium hotness and deep, complex flavors make them perfect for roasting. Most groceries carry poblano peppers in the produce section.

SOUTHWEST "CHILI" BURGERS WITH AVOCADO CREMA AND LIME-MARINATED SLAW

Steps:

• To make the slaw: mix all the slaw ingredients together. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
• Prepare charcoal grill for medium-hot direct-heat cooking.
• To make the Chili Rojo: add all chili ingredients, except extra wine, to a blender or food processor. Puree thoroughly, using extra wine if necessary to make a thick, smooth sauce.
• To make the burger patties: take 6 tablespoons ground beef and mix with 6 tablespoons Chile Rojo. Make 6 equal hand-formed patties with the remaining ground beef. Place 2 tablespoons of the chile mixture onto the center of each patty. Carefully enclose each patty around the chile mixture to form a ball. Carefully flatten each ball back into a thick patty, keeping the chile mixture inside. Season the patties liberally with salt and pepper.
• To make the Crema: mash the avocados in a food processor or with a potato masher. Add the rest of the ingredients and fold gently until thoroughly mixed.
• When the grill is hot, oil the grill rack and cook the burgers over a medium-high flame until done, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. If the exterior of the patties begins to burn, move them to a cooler side of the grill until the centers have had a chance to cook. Add a slice of cheese to each patty about 1 minute before they are done. Let patties rest off the heat for 1 or 2 minutes after cooking, and meanwhile toast the buns on a cooler side of the grill.
• To assemble the burgers: spread each bun bottom with a layer of Avocado Crema. Add about 1/3 cup slaw, a patty with melted cheese, then a tablespoon of chili ketchup, and finally the bun top.

MARINATED AVOCADO

Steps:

• Slice the red onion and put it in a bowl with the lemon juice. Dice the avocado, add it to the bowl, and toss well to coat. Add the olive oil and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Just before serving stir in the parsley.
