Spicy Burger Recipe With Creamy Chipotle Sauce
This spicy burger recipe is sure to satisfy! It’s piled high with pepper jack cheese, crunchy slaw, avocado slices, and a creamy chipotle sauce on a ciabatta bun that will have you asking for more, please.
Over the years, I’ve grown to appreciate heat as a flavor profile. There used to be a time where I wouldn’t consider eating a burger like this but nowadays, I’ve learned that spicy is a craving that must be met, just like sweet and savory are.
I compiled this burger with heat, creaminess, and crunch to make the bite satisfying on multiple notes. This burger is spicy, but if you are looking for an even bigger spicy punch, I give you suggestions for that, too, below.

What do I need to make this chipotle burger recipe?
To make this recipe, you will need:
- Ground Beef: For the burger patties, preferably 80/20 fat content. These can be grilled, baked (Easy Baked Hamburger Patties) or pan-fried (Juicy Stovetop Burger Recipe).
- Salt and Pepper: To season the patties.
- Jalapeno (Optional): If you like an extra spicy burger, consider finely chopping a jalapeno and mixing it into the patties before cooking.
- Shredded Cabbage or Coleslaw: This pairs really well with the chipotle sauce and adds a crunch to the burger.
- Avocado: Adds a layer of decadence and creaminess.
- Pepper Jack Cheese: This adds another element of heat and flavor to the burger.

How do I make this burger recipe?
Firstly, make the patties. I like to form the patties, season them with salt and pepper and then grill, bake (Easy Baked Hamburger Patties) or pan-fry them (Juicy Stovetop Burger Recipe). Once they are cooked, be sure to add a slice of pepper jack cheese on top and let it melt.
Note: If you would like a spicier burger, you can mix in chopped jalapenos to the patties before cooking.
Next, lightly toast the ciabatta buns and start assembling the burger.
- Start by spreading some mayo on the bottom bun. Add sliced avocado on top.
- Next, add the patty with the melted cheese.
- Layer on shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.
- Spoon a generous amount of chipotle cream sauce on top. Finish it off by adding the top bun.
And there you have it, a delicious burger just waiting to be devoured!
