Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 lb chorizo sausage
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 slices pepper jack cheese slices
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 1 piece ripe avocado
• 0.5 cup pico de gallo
• 0.25 cup cilantro (optional)
• 0.25 cup chipotle mayo (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chorizo sausage, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty, about ½-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for fully cooked beef. In the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado and prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if preferred.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Spread chipotle mayo (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty with the melted cheese on top of the mayo. Add the avocado slices and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 7

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy these flavorful Mexican hamburgers with a side of tortilla chips or a fresh salad.
