Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sopaipilla

    In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water until a soft dough forms. Knead for a few minutes, then let it rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Form into 8 oz patties.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patty

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Fry the Sopaipilla

    Roll out the sopaipilla dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into circles and fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Place the grilled patty inside a fresh sopaipilla. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and pickles. Serve immediately.
