  • ½ Cup mayonnaise
  • 1 4 Ounce can green chiles
  • 3 Tablespoons cotija cheese

  • Add the BUBBA burgers to the same cast iron pan and season with coarse salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on the first side or until juices start to form on the patties. Flip the burgers and top with two slices of cheese each, cook for an additional 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160F.
  • Place the burgers on the buns and pile on the elote topping.
