Ingredients:

For the Chipotle Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chicken Patties:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 burger buns
• Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and red onion slices (for garnish)

Instructions:

    Prepare the Chipotle Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

    Prepare the Chicken Patties:

3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

    Cook the Chicken Patties:

1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
