• Combine carrots, maple syrup, soy sauce, adobo sauce, and 1 cup water in a deep, large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes.

Grill carrots, turning once, until browned and slightly charred, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer carrots to a plate. Toast buns until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Transfer buns to plate.
• Finely chop remaining half of onion to yield 3 Tbsp. Mix remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
