Combine the soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the garlic and onion to the seasoning mix and stir well.
Finely chop the garlic and onion for a smoother texture.
Gently mix the ground beef with the seasoning mixture until combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Shape the mixture into four equal patties.
Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Grill the patties over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, flipping once.
Cook to your preferred level of doneness, ensuring a safe internal temperature.
Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of grilling.
Cover the grill briefly to help the cheese melt evenly.
Serve the patties on grilled buns with your favorite toppings.
Consider adding lettuce, tomato, or pickles for extra flavor and texture.
