Divide the mixture into 6 mounds, dividing each of those mounds in 2 to make a total of 12 mounds. Patty out one mound thinly on waxed paper, place a slice of the pineapple in the middle. Cover the pineapple and fill its core hole with 3 tablespoons of the Boursin cheese. Top with a slice of the watermelon. Patty out another mound on another piece of waxed paper, put on top of the first patty, pinch and seal the sides to make one filled patty. Repeat with other mounds to make a total of 6 filled patties..

To assemble burgers, press one portion of the avocado into the top of each ciabatta roll, spread each ciabatta bottom with 3 Tablespoons of the Chipotle mayo, then add a lettuce leaf, thin ring of red onion then place the patty on top. Place the top bun on top of the patty.
