Ingredients
Units Scale
- 8 slices pepper jack cheese
- 2 lb. fresh ground sirloin
- 1 egg (whisked)
- 1 lb. fresh ground chorizo
- 1/2 cup red onion (finely minced)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
Instructions
- First, turn the oven on to grill mode and preheat the grill to high.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, black pepper, kosher salt, cumin, and paprika.
- Next, in a medium-sized bowl, mix the ground sirloin and chorizo until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and onion then mix again.
- Then divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a 4-inch wide and 1-inch thick patty.
- Using a tablespoon, press the center of the burger and create a dimple. This keeps the burger flat and prevents it from swelling in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the patties on the grill and grill the burgers for 17 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remember to turn them over halfway.
- Next, put a slice of pepper jack cheese on each one and grill for 1 minute until melted.
- Remove from the grill. Serve each patty on a round bun and garnish with lettuce, rocket, and tomatoes.
