What you need to do

Make 1/4" thick patties about 1/2" larger around than you would normally. Place mushrooms, 1 slice of Ortega Chili and a slice of onion not quite to the end. Place the second pattie over the first and crimp around the edges sealing in the vegetables. Over medium heat put a little vegetable oil in frying pan. Fry on one side 10 - 12 minutes, flip over for another 10 - 12. When burger is almost done place a slice of American cheese over it to melt a little. Put mayonnaise on bun top and bottom, place burger on bottom bun, top with lettuce and tomato. Salt and pepper and serve. Onion (optional)
