Place a large cast-iron griddle or skillet on grill. Heat 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil in pan until you can see wisps of smoke. Working 2 or 3 patties at a time and adding more oil between batches if needed, cook patties, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on other side and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into center should register 165°), about ⏱️ 4 minutes. (Some cheese will ooze out and that’s okay.) Transfer patties to a platter as you go.

Spread bottom halves of rolls with reserved spicy mayo. Build burgers with lettuce leaves, patties, sliced red onion, and sliced tomatoes.
