Form into six patties. Place bread oil face down onto grill away from the coals. Place all six patties on grill. Place Poblano chili onto grill. When it is time to flip the patties, remove the bread. On each of the two bottom slices, spread one tablespoon mustard. Smash the avacado, mix with 1/2 tablespoon EVOO and spread evenly onto each of the two top slices. Place the grilled patties onto the bottom slices of bread. Add a cheese slice to each pattie. Slice tomatoes and distribute evenly acrosss the patties. Remove Poblano chili from grill cut into dice-sized pieces discarding stem and seeds. Distribute chili pepper evenly across all patties. Tear generous portions of lettuce and heap on top. Place top bread pieces. Carefully slice between the patties to yield six burgers.
