    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chorizo, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Swiss cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
