Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Ground beef
- 1 pound
- Chorizo
- 1/2 pound, casings removed
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Burger buns
- 4
- Tomato
- 1, sliced
- Lettuce leaves
- 4
- Avocado
- 1, sliced
- Chipotle mayo
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and chorizo. Season generously with salt and pepper, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium).
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the chipotle mayo by mixing 1/2 cup mayonnaise with 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle sauce (adjust to taste) in a small bowl.
- Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on the bottom halves of each burger bun.
- Top each bun with a crisp lettuce leaf, a slice of juicy tomato, and the cooked chorizo-beef patty.
- Finally, add slices of creamy avocado on top before covering with the top halves of the buns.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
