  1. Combine the lean ground chicken with diced green onions, shallots, garlic, chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, ground coriander, black pepper, kosher salt, and chopped cilantro in a large bowl.
  2. Lightly mix using your hands until well combined.
  3. Pat out into four burger patties and place them in the freezer while you prepare the peppers.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  5. Roast the pasilla peppers for a few minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred on all sides.
  6. Remove from heat and cover with plastic wrap on a plate to steam for about five minutes.
  7. Grease the grill grates by dampening a folded paper towel with oil and using tongs to wipe it over the hot grates.
  8. Grill the chicken patties until they are fully cooked through, around 6–8 minutes per side.
  9. In a small bowl, mix together chopped chipotles in adobo sauce with lime juice and mayonnaise until smooth.
