Directions
1. Prepare the burger patties by combining all of the ingredients together in a bowl and then form into 4 evenly sized patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Preheat a grill to high heat.
3. Prepare the mayonnaise by mincing the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and mixing it, along with the extra sauce, into the mayo in a small bowl until well combined.
4. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Top with the Swiss cheese and cook until melted.
5. Transfer burgers to a plate. Place the pineapple on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side.
6. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the burger bun. Place the lettuce on the bottom, followed a slice of bacon, broken in half. Top that with the burger, a slice of tomato, the pickles and the pineapple. Top with the other half of the bun.

I think I might have used just a tiny bit too much of the chipotle mayo on my burger since it was a nice dry kick to the back of the throat, but otherwise I really, really enjoyed this burger. I opted to serve my pickle on the side and Tom, who previously used to hate pickles, told me that he thought he'd really enjoy it diced up and in the mayo, kind of like a spicy Thousand Island dressing.

I definitely plan on making these again!
