Chorizo Burgers:

Directions

  1. Cotija cheeseFor the salsa: Boil the habaneros, jalapeno and tomato in a small saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain the chiles, but reserve the fluid to cool to add later to the chorizo.
  2. Place the boiled chiles and tomato and roasted chile de arbol in a blender and blend. Now mix in the cilantro, onion and salt to taste. Keep the salsa chilled. This recipe makes about 2 cups of Jose's Salsa - it is VERY SPICY!!
  3. For the chorizo: Mix together the pork, vinegar, chile powder, cayenne, granulated garlic, paprika, sugar, salt, black pepper, oregano and 1 cup of the reserved chile water from Jose's salsa in a large bowl. Cover with plastic film and leave to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  4. For the burgers: Mix the ground beef and cilantro into the marinated chorizo. Make into six 6-ounce burgers. Grill on a BBQ or a frying pan; make sure the meat is cooked through. Melt some cotija cheese on the cooked burger. Spread some sour cream on the buns. Add some green leaf lettuce, sliced onions and Jose's fresh salsa and ENJOY!!!
