This tasty, juicy burger is especially addictive because of how extra cheesy it is. It has a perfectly cooked burger patty smothered in delicious Monterey Jack cheese, topped with sautéed onions and roasted peppers, and finished with a chimichurri sauce.
Serve the oven-roasted sweet potatoes with a light spice mixture alongside the Southwest Fajita Cheeseburger. This amazing burger tastes just like it would from the greatest burger joint in town. With roasted red peppers, cheese, wonderfully caramelized onions, and that chimichurri sauce, the flavors are vibrant and distinctly Southwest. Everything is presented on a brioche bun.

How to Prepare Southwest Fajita Cheeseburgers?
- First, preheat the grill to medium.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, green onions, and cumin. Mix lightly but thoroughly.
- Lightly form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- After that, place patties on grid and grill, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes to medium (160°F), or until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center registers 160°F. Turn regularly.
- To broil, place patties on a rack in a broiler pan so that the meat is 3 to 4 inches from the flame. Broil 10 to 12 minutes, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the center reads 160°F.
- Season with salt and pepper if required.
- Open brioche buns. Place buns directly on oven rack. Toast 2-3 minutes or until browned.
- Transfer the buns to a chopping board. Spread approximately 2 teaspoons of the remaining chimichurri sauce over the cut side of each bun.
- Finally, top with a burger patty and the onion and pepper mix and enjoy!
