Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup onion, chopped, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons canned jalapeño peppers, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder (a palmful)
1 tablespoon grill seasoning (a palmful)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
1 heart of romaine lettuce, shredded
1 cup taco sauce
Directions
In a medium size bowl, combine the chicken, 1 cup onion, jalapeño peppers, chili powder, grill seasoning and garlic. Form four patties. Wash your hands after handling the raw poultry.
Have a grown-up helper (GH) heat the EVOO, one turn of the pan, in a skillet over medium heat. Have your GH add the patties and cook them for 4 minutes on each side. When they're almost done, top each patty with a mound of cheese and cook until melted. Layer each of the bun bottoms with the lettuce, a chicken patty, taco sauce, extra onion and a bun top.
