Pueblan-Style Chipotle Black Bean Burger and Morita Chile Aioli

1. For morita chile aioli, place morita chiles in a mixing bowl. Pour boiling water over chiles, to cover. Let steep for about 30 minute or until chiles rehydrate.

2. Place rehydrated chiles in a blender with about ¼ cup of the soaking liquid. Blend on high until pureed to a paste. Pass the paste through a fine mesh sieve. Fold the paste into the mayonnaise and season with garlic, lime juice and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3. For avocado and cilantro spread, mash avocado with a pinch of salt. Add remaining ingredients and adjust seasoning as needed.

4. For each burger, heat cast iron skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon butter and melt. Add burger patty and torta roll; toast until roll is golden brown. Remove from pan.

5. Flip burger patty and add remaining butter over burger. Cook until burger is caramelized and cooked through.

6. On bottom of torta roll, spread avocado and cilantro mixture; top with cooked burger patty. Sprinkle shredded cheese and onions on top. Spread morita chile aioli on top of torta roll; place on top of burger to complete.
