Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Slice 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, 1/2 of the bell pepper, and 1/2 of the onion into rings for topping. Set aside.

  3. Combine ground chicken and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor, season with adobo seasoning, cumin, and Mexican seasoning. Add remaining peppers and onion. Pulse until mixture is combined. Shape into 8 burgers.

  4. Place burgers on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a drip tray.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place 1 slice of pepper Jack cheese on top of each burger. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno slices on top.

  6. Spread Mexican sour cream onto each hamburger bun. Top with a chicken burger and serve immediately.
