"You can buy great chorizo at the store now -- all you have to do is make it into patties and sprinkle with some salt. It doesn't get easier than that," says Michael.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 to 8 tomatillos (about 1 1/4 pounds), husked and halved
1 small red onion, quartered
1 jalapeno or serrano pepper, halved lengthwise and seeded
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup fresh cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
1 1/2 pounds ground chorizo
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for the grill
4 1-ounce slices pepper jack cheese
4 soft potato rolls, toasted
1 small avocado, halved, pitted and thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sliced piquillo peppers

Steps:

  • Make the salsa verde: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lay out the tomatillos, red onion and jalapeno on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then roast until slightly charred and softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the cilantro and lime juice, season with salt and continue to puree until smooth. For a thicker salsa, pour into a cheesecloth-lined strainer and let drain.
  • Make the burgers: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Form the chorizo into 4 balls, then flatten with your palm. Season them with salt.
  • Oil the grill grates. Place the patties on the grill and press with a spatula to form thinner patties. Cook, without moving, until a good crust forms on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and top each burger with a slice of cheese; cover and let the cheese melt, about 1 minute. Remove the burgers and place on the toasted buns with the salsa verde, avocado, red onion and some piquillo peppers.

I've tried many burger recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The burgers are always juicy and flavorful, and the blue cheese and bacon add a really nice touch.

I've had these burgers at a restaurant before and I was excited to try making them at home. I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out just as good as the ones I had at the restaurant.

I was a little hesitant to try these burgers because I'm not a big fan of blue cheese. But I'm so glad I did! The blue cheese adds a really unique and delicious flavor to the burgers.

I made these burgers with my kids and they had a blast. They loved helping me mix the ingredients and cook the burgers. We all enjoyed the burgers and they were a great way to spend time together.
