My mouth is watering and I can't wait to try these! I'll be adding about 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin to the guacamole and using fresh garden cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes and onion to top!

Sounds good. I would probably use dried chipotle powder instead of the actual chile's to prevent the burgers from falling apart, and I would top it with some chipotle mayo. (Mayo mixed with adobo sauce).
