Yep, another burger post.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground veal
  • 1/2 pound chorizo
  • 2 chipotle peppers diced
  • 1 large onion finely diced
  • 1/2 cup panko or breadcrumbs
  • fresh mozzarella
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 jalapeños, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 chibata rolls
  • chipotle ranch or mayo
  • sliced avocado

Directions

Combine the beef, veal, chorizo, peppers, onion and panko in a large bowl. Place in fridge for about a half an hour covered to let everything gel.

In the meantime get started on the onions. Place onions and jalapeños in a frying pan with some olive oil on medium-hi and fry until onions become soft. Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the pan to cool a bit, then add brown sugar. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until sugar has all been liquified and begins to caramelize in the pan. Salt and pepper to taste. Place peppers and onions in a bowl for later.

Take meat mixture out of the fridge and form into burger patties. Either grill or pan fry until medium/medium-well. You don’t want rare burgers due to the chorizo. When burgers are close to being done, top with a healthy portion of onions and mozzarella balls. Allow enough time for the balls to melt. Now is a good time to toast up those buns on the grill or in the broiler.

Slather some chipotle ranch on those toasted buns. Give each bun a burger and top with sliced avocado. Enjoy!
