Description
A smoky, spicy chorizo patty tucked into a toasted bun with tangy chimichurri aioli and quick-pickled onions, delivering big flavor in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh pork chorizo
- 4 hamburger buns
- Chimichurri aioli
- Quick-pickled red onions
- Cilantro
- Optional: Cheese (provolone, Monterey Jack), mustard, grilled pineapple
Instructions
- Remove casings from the chorizo if using links and gently form into four patties about 3/4-inch thick.
- Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F) or heat a skillet over medium-high.
- Grill patties for 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F.
- Toast buns on the grill, cut-side down, for 30-60 seconds.
- Assemble the burger with chimichurri aioli, grilled onions, and pickles or queso fresco.
Notes
Avoid compacting the chorizo patties for juicier results. Use fresh, uncooked chorizo for the best texture.
