1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare the Jalapeño-Onion Mixture:
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and jalapeños. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Form and Cook the Burgers:
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into loose balls.
Heat a skillet or griddle over high heat. Add a little vegetable oil to the pan.
Place the beef balls in the hot skillet and press them down with a spatula to form thin patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. If using cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid to melt.
Toast the Buns:
Slice the hamburger buns and toast them in the skillet or oven until golden brown.
Assemble the Burgers:
