• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Chorizo (Mexican sausage), casing removed
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese slices

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chorizo, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

2. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1-inch thick.

3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with the vegetable oil.

4. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on each patty to melt.

5. Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of guacamole on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf over the guacamole, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese.

7. Top the patty with fresh salsa (pico de gallo) and a few sliced jalapeño peppers for an extra kick.

8. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mexican Burgers with a side of fries or tortilla chips!
