Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Meats

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and chorizo. Mix well until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the meat mixture into a patty approximately 1 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patty

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Patty

    Place the patty on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place the queso blanco on top of the patty to melt slightly.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bun

    While the patty is cooking, grill the brioche bun until lightly toasted.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the chorizo beef patty with melted queso blanco, pickled red onion, and finish with a drizzle of secret sauce.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the brioche bun and press down gently.
