Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into a single beef patty about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Griddle the Patty

    Heat olive oil in a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip it.

  3. 3

    Add Birria and Cheese

    After flipping the patty, top it with the house-stewed birria and the slices of pepper jack cheese. Cover the pan for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Remove the patty from the griddle and place it on a plate. Top with pickled jalapenos, sliced onion, and drizzle with rancho sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
