Method

Remove chipotles from the adobe.  Wipe thee sauce carefully from the chipotles and mince the peppers so they will distribute throughout the patties.

Put ground beef into a medium bowl and break up loosely.  Add remaining ingredients and mix lightly.  Using the hands is excellent for this step.  Carefully form into patties of equal size.

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.  When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place patties on grill 3 to 5 inches from coals; cook 4 to 8 minutes each side, turning once only, or to desired degree of doneness (145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium or 170°F for well done).

Serve on a bun topped with tomato and onion, guacamole, if you have it.
