Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon ground epazote (optional), found at Mexican specialty stores or online
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 pounds ground pork
2 jalapeños, divided, one for the burgers, one for the salsa
2 tablespoons lime juice, about 2 limes
1 small yellow onion, about 1 cup, chopped
2 tablespoons Mexican dark beer, Negra Modelo suggested
2 chipotles in adobo, for extra heat, add 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
8 ounces tomatillos
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 serrano chili, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice, about 2?3 limes
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small white onion, chopped
2 avocados
6 hamburger buns
Cotija, or other grated Mexican white cheese
Thinly sliced tomato

Steps:

  • Chorizo, part 1: Fill a small bowl with hot water. Smash garlic cloves, then place into the water for 15 seconds to loosen the skin. Peel garlic, then grate it with a microplane into a mixing bowl. Add epazote, oregano, chili powder, salt, cilantro, and pork.
  • Run metal skewers crosswise through the jalapeños to create a grid. Place them directly over the gas flame of a burner to blacken. Using the skewers, rotate jalapeños to char and blacken on all sides, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, you can broil them, lightly oiled and on a sheet pan, in an oven, about 4 minutes per side.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
  • Add lime juice to the meat mixture. Cut the onion into rings, stack them, and slice top to bottom to dice. Mince them further by rocking the knife back and forth over the dice, then add to the pork mixture, along with the beer. When jalapeños are cool, remove some of the black char with your fingers; set one aside for the salsa. Slice the other in half lengthwise, and remove the ribs and seeds. Finely chop it and add to the pork, along with the chipotles and optional adobo. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 18-24 hours.
  • Salsa: Fill a medium bowl with hot water. Place tomatillos in the water to loosen the husk, 3-5 minutes. Put garlic, serrano chili, remaining charred jalapeño (seeded and chopped), cilantro, mint, and salt in a food processor. Remove tomatillos from the water and peel off the husk. Slice, then add to the food processor. Pulse about 30 times, until all ingredients are roughly uniform.
  • Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Run a spoon between the peel and flesh to remove each half in one piece. Place all four halves into the food processor. Pulse 6-8 more times. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Place salsa into a bowl with chopped onions. Stir to combine, and set aside. (Makes 3 cups; store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.)
  • Chorizo, part 2: Remove pork from refrigerator, and shape into 6 patties. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast buns in an even layer, cut side down, 2 minutes; set aside. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, 1 minute. Add burgers in an even layer (do not crowd) and season lightly with salt. Cook 5 minutes per side, until there's a brown crust on the outside and the internal temperature hits 150-155 F. Repeat with remaining oil, burgers, and buns.
  • Assembly: Place burgers on toasted buns. Top with a tomato slice, a dollop of salsa, and a teaspoon of grated cheese. Serve with remaining salsa on the side. Devour.

BEEF AND CHORIZO STUFFED BURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Beef and Chorizo Stuffed Burgers with Caramelized Onions image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds 90/10 ground beef
8 ounces fresh chorizo
1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
Olive oil
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 potato burger buns
Condiments of your choice
1/2 cup picked cilantro, to serve

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • For the caramelized onions: Add the butter, onions and a pinch of salt to a medium saute pan. Place the pan on the indirect heat side of the grill and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are tender and deeply caramelized, about 1 hour. When ready, remove from the grill and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the beef and chorizo. Divide the mixture evenly between 8 deli container lids. Flatten the meat into each lid to create an even disk. Pop the 8 meat disks out of the lids. Add the cheese to the center of 4 of the meat disks, then top with the remaining 4 meat disk and seal the edges.
  • Preheat a large cast-iron pan on the direct heat side of the grill. Season both sides of the burgers with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Place the burgers in the pan and immediately smash them with a spatula. Cook the burgers for about 2 minutes per side. Remove the burgers from the grill. Spread the mayo on the burger buns and toast them the indirect heat side of the grill.
  • To build: To each bun, add some caramelized onions, a burger, the condiments of your choice and cilantro. Serve!

Provided by Food.com

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 burgers, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 lb ground sirloin
3/4 lb ground chuck
1/2 lb raw chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1 large onion, grated
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow onions, finely sliced
kosher salt, to season
fresh ground pepper, to season
1/2 cup bottled and sliced jalapeno chile, drained
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 medium jarred roasted red peppers, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
6 slices oaxaca cheese or 6 slices mozzarella cheese
6 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • To make the Latin Burgers:.
  • In a large bowl, mix thoroughly by hand the ground beef, the chorizo, the adobo seasoning, the grated onion and the bread crumbs. Form the burgers into 6 patties without pressing them too much or they can become tough. Line a baking pan with waxed paper and put the burgers side-by-side in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will help the burgers hold together. If you make more than you need just separate with waxed paper and insert into a storage freezer bag for future use.
  • To make the Caramelized Onion and Jalapeno Relish:.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Add the jalapeno chiles and the brown sugar. Saute for 15 minutes or until the onion and the chiles are caramelized and soft. Set aside.
  • To make the Red Pepper Mayonnaise:.
  • Drain the roasted red peppers and put them in a blender or food processor. Add the mayonnaise, and season with salt and pepper. Puree the mayonnaise and roasted red peppers until well combined and the mixture is smooth. NOTE: This may be done up to 2 days ahead of time, and in fact the flavor will be more complete with an overnight chilling.
  • To cook the Latin Burgers:.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on the stove top over medium-high heat. Place the burgers on the hot grill or pan until cooked to desired doneness. Due to the raw chorizo in the recipe, at least medium-well is recommended, approximately 10 minutes on each side. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, top the burgers with the slices of cheese so it can melt. If your grill has a lid, putting it on briefly will help the cheese melt quickly and evenly.
  • To serve: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the red pepper mayonnaise on both sides of the rolls. Lay a burger on the bottom halves, and top with a couple of spoonfuls of the caramelized onion and jalapeno relish.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Chorizo: Select a good quality, spicy chorizo for the burgers. Mexican chorizo is typically used, but you can also use Spanish chorizo if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients make all the difference in this recipe. Use ripe tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro for the salsa, and fresh ground beef for the burgers.
  • Don't Overcook the Burgers: The burgers should be cooked to medium-rare or medium to retain their moisture and flavor. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make the Salsa Ahead of Time: The tomatillo salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a convenient option for busy weeknights.
  • Use a Toasting Rack: If you don't have a grill, you can cook the burgers in a skillet on the stovetop. Just be sure to use a toasting rack to elevate the burgers so that they cook evenly.

Conclusion:

The combination of spicy chorizo, tangy tomatillo salsa, and creamy avocado makes these burgers irresistible. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight meal. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings, or a salad.
