Chorizo burgers are made with spicy Mexican chorizo sausage and are a delicious and juicy change from traditional beef burgers. The spicy chorizo sausage is combined with other ingredients like eggs, breadcrumbs, and spices, then formed into patties and cooked. Joses salsa is a popular brand of Mexican salsa that is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and spices. This salsa is often served with chorizo burgers as a condiment, as its flavors complement the spicy chorizo sausage very well.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 pieces thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound chorizo
One 4-ounce can diced green chiles (not drained)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 large eggs
4 burger buns
Green leaf lettuce, leaves separated
1 large tomato, sliced thin
Hot sauce, to taste
Taco Tots, recipe follows
One 32-ounce bag frozen potato tots (about 5 cups)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Put the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil. Bake until crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the cilantro mayo: Mix the mayo with the chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  • For the patties, mix the chuck, chorizo, green chiles, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Pinch off a fourth of the meat mixture, forming it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 3 more discs. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in the preheated skillet, then add the patties. Using the bottom of a spatula, smash the patties until they are about 1/2-inch-thick. Fry until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, start the eggs. Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook sunny-side up, 5 to 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the eggs with a slotted spatula to drain or remove the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spread the bottom of each bun with some of the cilantro mayo and place on plates or a serving dish. Top each with a patty and 2 pieces of bacon. Top each with lettuce, tomato and an egg; drizzle with some hot sauce. Spread the remaining cilantro mayo on the bun lids, then place them carefully on top of the burgers.
  • Serve alongside the Taco Tots.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the potato tots and taco seasoning on a sheet pan. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the cheese and return to the oven to melt the cheese, 5 minutes more.

CHORIZO BURGERS



Chorizo Burgers image

I've always enjoyed a hamburger right off the grill, and in the Southwest we enjoy chorizo, so I combined the two. Instead of using store-bought condiments, I use fresh ingredients to brighten up the burgers along with some pickled vegetables. I like to serve these burgers with a side of deep-fried Brussels sprouts. -Robert J. Johnson, Chino Valley, Arizona

1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons peeled and grated horseradish

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients whenever possible. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chorizo burgers.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo. Chorizo is a relatively fatty sausage, so it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that they're safe to eat and still juicy.
  • Serve the chorizo burgers immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado.
  • José's Salsa is a great addition to any Mexican-inspired dish. It's also very easy to make. Just combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chorizo burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. José's Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chorizo burgers and José's Salsa a try.
