1
Blend the mayo, ketchup, two chipotles in adobo with their sauce, lime juice, sour cream, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Taste and adjust, then set the burger sauce aside.
2
Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add the chopped bacon, and cook for about 7 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and drain the grease.
3
In the same bacon grease, cook the jalapeño rounds for about 1 minute, then remove and drain on paper towels alongside the bacon.
4
Discard the bacon grease from the pan, add the ground beef, and break it up. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cumin, cooking for about 5 minutes while scraping the bottom of the pan.
5
Drain any excess grease, then stir in the minced onion, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, taste and adjust seasoning, then set the meat aside.
6
In another pan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute to form a roux so the cheese sauce won't taste grainy.
7
Season the roux with salt, black pepper, and the chopped chipotle pepper. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously until it dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken.
8
Turn off the heat and gradually add the freshly shredded cheddar cheese, letting each addition melt before adding more, until you have a smooth cheese sauce.
9
Air fry the frozen fries until crispy (you can also make your own fries), then transfer them to an oven-safe dish.
10
Layer the fries with cheese sauce, top with the seasoned beef, add more cheese sauce, then top with the bacon and jalapeño rounds.
11
Place the whole dish back in the air fryer briefly to melt the cheese, then remove and drizzle with the burger sauce before serving.
