1
Mix Meat
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and chorizo. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than the bun to account for shrinkage during cooking.
3
Cook Patties
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
4
Add Queso Blanco
In the last minute of cooking, place an ounce of queso blanco on top of each patty to melt slightly.

5
Prepare Lettuce
Rinse and drain the shaved lettuce. Set aside.
6
Prepare Pickled Red Onion
If not pre-made, you can prepare pickled red onions by soaking thinly sliced red onions in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water for at least 30 minutes.
7
Make Secret Sauce
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and a dash of hot sauce to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.

8
Toast Brioche Bun
Lightly grill or toast the brioche bun until golden brown.
9
Layer Ingredients
On the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun, place a layer of shaved lettuce, followed by the cooked chorizo burger patty topped with melted queso blanco, a generous amount of pickled red onion, and finally drizzle the secret sauce.
10
Complete Burger
Place the top half of the brioche bun over the assembled ingredients. Press down gently to hold together.
