- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from the chipotle can)

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise

- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
- 4 burger buns, toasted

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, lime juice, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Shape the mixture into patties and cook them for about 5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Stovetop Method: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook each patty for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chopped chipotle pepper, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spread the chipotle sauce on toasted burger buns. Layer with cooked patties followed by cheese (if using), lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and pickled jalapeños.
