Ingredients
Chorizo Burger Patties
- ½ pound lean Mexican chorizo
- ½ pound lean ground meat - see Tips in post
- 1 egg
- 2 ounces cotija - grated or crumbled
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt - cotija is salty and fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Make the burger mixture - Combine chorizo, ground meat, egg, and cotija in a prep bowl. Mix thoroughly. I find my hands work best, but if you're squeamish, use a flexible spatula.
- Prepare the toppings - If you're doing pickled onions and/or aioli, you may want to start them first. Slice tomatoes, mash avocados, and prepare lettuce. If you have a helper, let your helper grill the rolls/buns.
- Cook the chorizo burgers - Heat a griddle to medium-high. If it's not a good non-stick surface, spray it with cooking spray. These burgers are lean, and will stick. Cook the patties on one side until medium brown (about 3-4 minutes). Turn them, and repeat.
- Serve - Place patty on top of bread smeared with mashed avocado (or other condiment), top with lettuce, onion, tomatoes, and follow with the bread spread with more mashed avocado, aioli, or another condiment. Enjoy!
