Directions
- For the pickled onions: In a mixing bowl using your hands, combine the onions, red wine vinegar, sugar and salt until fully combined. Refrigerate for 36 hours before using.
- For the burgers: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Form the meat into 3-ounce patties, 3 1/2 inches in circumference. Refrigerate to get as cold as possible.
- For the salsa verde: Toss the tomatillos in the olive oil and roast until the skins are blistered. Meanwhile, sauté the garlic and onion until translucent. In a blender or food processor, blend the tomatillos, garlic, onion, jalapeño sugar, salt and pepper until a salsa is achieved.
- For the sweet n spicy bacon: Toss the bacon in the sweet chili sauce and cayenne pepper. Roast until the bacon is crispy and the sugars are caramelized.
- For the nacho cheese crema: Combine the sour cream, Cheddar powder, chipotle puree, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk together until evenly combined.
- For the kewl ranch seasoning: Combine the ranch powder, granulated onion, granulated garlic, paprika and cayenne in a bowl and mix by hand.
- For the burgers: Preheat a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the patties lightly with the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then coat fully in the egg, then transfer to a bowl of crushed tortilla chips and coat fully. Fry the patties until cooked to desired doneness. Season the cooked patties heavily with the kewl ranch seasoning.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the toasted brioche buns, then adding the salsa verde, sweet n spicy bacon, nacho cheese crema, pickled onions, oregano and crushed red pepper.
- After questioning your own sanity for taking this long to make a hamburger, take a bite, and give yourself a big pat on the back!
