Directions

Prep 45 minCook 15 min
  1. 1

    Warm a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chorizo, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through, 4–6 minutes. Drain excess fat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix the cooked chorizo with the crumbled queso añejo, half of the chopped cilantro, the minced garlic, and the minced jalapeño until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Divide the ground beef into 12 equal portions and press each into a thin 1/4-inch patty.

  4. 4

    Spoon the chorizo-cheese mixture onto 6 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the remaining patties and crimp the edges to seal well. Refrigerate the stuffed patties for 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper just before grilling.

  6. 6

    Preheat a grill to medium and oil the grates. Grill the burgers, covered, until an instant‑read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F, about 6–8 minutes per side. Tent with foil and rest 4–5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Split the buns and grill cut sides until lightly toasted and golden.

  8. 8

    Assemble the burgers on toasted buns with salsa verde, sliced red onion, sliced tomato, hot sauce, and the remaining chopped cilantro.
