Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
6 ounces fresh chorizo
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 jalapeno, minced
6 ounces mayonnaise
8 ounces roma tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
2 limes, juiced
Cayenne pepper
4 slices jalapeno jack cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 bib lettuce leaves
Directions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Mix together the beef and chorizo, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Form 4 patties, each around 6 ounces.
- Blend the jalapeno with the mayonnaise to make a jalapeno aioli. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make a pico de gallo by combining the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
- Grill the burgers until well done, around 5 minutes per side. Top each with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Grill the buns.
- Build the burgers by spreading a layer of jalapeno aioli on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of lettuce, the burger, some pico de gallo and finally the top bun with more aioli.
