COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Hangry Chorizo Burger

Guacamole

  1. Add avocados to a large bowl. Using a fork, mash to desired consistency (we prefer small chunks still left). Add rest of ingredients and stir until well-combined. Chill until ready for use.

 

Queso

  1. Preheat grill to medium-low.
  2. In a cast-iron pan, add cheese and half and half. While frequently stirring, cook until cheese is melted and half and half is fully integrated.
  3. Stir in spices, jalapeños, and jalapeño juice. Remove from heat and serve immediately over burgers.

 

Hangry Chorizo Burger

  1. Preheat grill to high heat.
  2. Place poblanos on grill and char all sides thoroughly, rotating every few minutes. Once poblanos are properly charred, remove from grill and place in closed container for 30 mins. Once 30 mins has passed, peel, de-seed, and de-stem peppers then set aside.
  3. Combine ground beef and chorizo in bowl. Form mixture into 4 equal patties. Season patties with salt and pepper (keep in mind that chorizo will add flavor to the burgers itself).
  4. Grill for 4-5 mins per side, or until burgers are completely cooked through (the chorizo has to be cooked to at least 160ºF because it’s made with ground pork). Remove patties from grill and let rest 5 mins.
  5. While patties are resting, toast the cut side of the brioche buns for ~60 seconds or until char marks form. Remove and set aside.
  6. To build each Hangry Chorizo Burger: Top 1 bun heel with 1 patty, a slice of roasted poblano, Guacamole, Queso, then the bun crown. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Enjoy!
