I started by gathering the ingredients for the green-chile chicken burgers.

These patties, which call for cilantro and green chiles, are far from your average cheeseburger. I began by gathering the ingredients, which included ground chicken, cumin, diced green chiles, cilantro, salt, and pepper.

The recipe also called for a beefsteak tomato, sesame buns, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and lettuce for serving.

This combination of ingredients was outside my standard-burger comfort zone. Still, I gathered everything and did the necessary prep work, like draining the canned chiles, slicing the tomato, and chopping the cilantro.
