Description
I have lots of recipes using chorizo sausage. This chorizo hamburger is just one of them, but it sure is a good place to start!
Ingredients
1 lb fresh chorizo
1 T olive oil
1 large onion, sliced into thin slices and halved
1 c roasted and peeled green chile strips
8 ounces Oaxaca cheese cut into 8 slices, or fresh mozzarella
1/2 c mayonnaise
1 T adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers or just chop up a few chipotles
4 Telera buns
Instructions
Form chorizo into 4 equal patties.
Heat 1 T oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Add chorizo patties and cook through by smashing them into the hot skillet. Flip halfway through.
Remove from pan when cooked. Add onions to the skillet, lower heat to medium and cook onions until soft. Add the green chiles and warm through.
While the onions are cooking mix the adobo sauce or chopped chipotles with the mayonnaise.
Split buns in half and spread each side with a smear of mayonnaise. Top with 1 slice of cheese. Add the chorizo burger. Top with a few slices of green chile and onions. Top with another slice of cheese. Top with a bun. Do this 4 times!
Place the assembled burgers in the pan and smash down so that the bottom half of the bun gets golden and crispy. While it is cooking spread the top if the buns with more mayonnaise. When the bottom is crispy, carefully flip the burgers over and smash down carefully. Once that side is also golden brown you can devour them!
Notes
Of course you can do this with any ground meat, but chorizo is great. And keep in mind that chorizo can be made with ground chicken, too!
