Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground angus beef and chorizo. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill/Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty to melt.

Chipotle Sour Cream Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix Sour Cream

    In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chipotle powder, lime juice, and salt until well combined.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 8

    Assemble Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked chorizo burger patty with melted cheese, fried jalapenos, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Drizzle with chipotle sour cream and top with the other half of the bun.
