Best 7 Chorizo Burgers And Joses Salsa Recipes

CHORIZO BURGERS WITH TOMATILLO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Chorizo, part 1: Fill a small bowl with hot water. Smash garlic cloves, then place into the water for 15 seconds to loosen the skin. Peel garlic, then grate it with a microplane into a mixing bowl. Add epazote, oregano, chili powder, salt, cilantro, and pork.
• Run metal skewers crosswise through the jalapeños to create a grid. Place them directly over the gas flame of a burner to blacken. Using the skewers, rotate jalapeños to char and blacken on all sides, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, you can broil them, lightly oiled and on a sheet pan, in an oven, about 4 minutes per side.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
• Add lime juice to the meat mixture. Cut the onion into rings, stack them, and slice top to bottom to dice. Mince them further by rocking the knife back and forth over the dice, then add to the pork mixture, along with the beer. When jalapeños are cool, remove some of the black char with your fingers; set one aside for the salsa. Slice the other in half lengthwise, and remove the ribs and seeds. Finely chop it and add to the pork, along with the chipotles and optional adobo. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 18-24 hours.
• Salsa: Fill a medium bowl with hot water. Place tomatillos in the water to loosen the husk, 3-5 minutes. Put garlic, serrano chili, remaining charred jalapeño (seeded and chopped), cilantro, mint, and salt in a food processor. Remove tomatillos from the water and peel off the husk. Slice, then add to the food processor. Pulse about 30 times, until all ingredients are roughly uniform.
• Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Run a spoon between the peel and flesh to remove each half in one piece. Place all four halves into the food processor. Pulse 6-8 more times. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Place salsa into a bowl with chopped onions. Stir to combine, and set aside. (Makes 3 cups; store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.)
• Chorizo, part 2: Remove pork from refrigerator, and shape into 6 patties. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast buns in an even layer, cut side down, 2 minutes; set aside. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, 1 minute. Add burgers in an even layer (do not crowd) and season lightly with salt. Cook 5 minutes per side, until there's a brown crust on the outside and the internal temperature hits 150-155 F. Repeat with remaining oil, burgers, and buns.
• Assembly: Place burgers on toasted buns. Top with a tomato slice, a dollop of salsa, and a teaspoon of grated cheese. Serve with remaining salsa on the side. Devour.

SLOPPY JOSE WITH CHORIZO, CHARRED POBLANOS AND AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• For the avocado crema: Place the cilantro, sour cream, avocado, lime zest and juice in a food processor and run until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reserve, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly on top to keep from browning.
• For the filling: Preheat a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over high heat, and then add in the oil. Add the poblano peppers, season with cumin, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Saute until the peppers are slightly soft and blistered, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the chorizo and cook over medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook the chorizo until well browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. If your chorizo has extra fat you can drain it on a paper-towel-lined plate to remove excess fat and then add the chorizo back to the pan along with the salsa. If your chorizo doesn't have that much fat, just add in your salsa and keep the party going. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Slice, butter and toast each of the rolls until golden brown and crusty.
• Sprinkle some cheese on the bottom bun, and then a hefty spoonful of the hot chorizo. On top of the chorizo place some poblanos. Smear the top bun with lots of avocado crema and serve 'em up.

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil. Bake until crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.

• For the patties, mix the chuck, chorizo, green chiles, a pinch of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Pinch off a fourth of the meat mixture, forming it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 3 more discs. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in the preheated skillet, then add the patties. Using the bottom of a spatula, smash the patties until they are about 1/2-inch-thick. Fry until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
• Meanwhile, start the eggs. Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook sunny-side up, 5 to 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Remove the eggs with a slotted spatula to drain or remove the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Spread the bottom of each bun with some of the cilantro mayo and place on plates or a serving dish. Top each with a patty and 2 pieces of bacon. Top each with lettuce, tomato and an egg; drizzle with some hot sauce. Spread the remaining cilantro mayo on the bun lids, then place them carefully on top of the burgers.
• Serve alongside the Taco Tots.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the potato tots and taco seasoning on a sheet pan. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the cheese and return to the oven to melt the cheese, 5 minutes more.
