Chorizo Burgers with Quesadilla Cheese and Crema Chili Sauce
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (90/10)
- 1 – 9 oz. package Cacique® Beef Chorizo
- 3/4 cup Cacique® Queso Quesadilla shredded cheese
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and leaves separated
- 2 roma tomatoes, sliced
- 6 small slider buns, split in half
- 1 cup of your favorite hot sauce
- 1 cup Ranchero® Crema Con Sal
HOW TO MAKE IT
- In a medium sized bowl, add the ground meat and crumble the chorizo over. Using your hands, mix the meat and chorizo together until thoroughly combined.
- Divide meat mixture into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a 3 1/2 inch diameter patty and place on a platter.
- In a small bowl, combine the hot sauce and Ranchero® Crema Con Sal. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill to 400 degrees (medium high heat). Add the meat patties and grill for 6 minutes. Turn the patties over and grill for another 4 minutes. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons of Cacique® Queso Quesadilla shredded cheese. Close the lid of the grill for 2 minutes to melt the cheese. Continue cooking the patties until they are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees – about another 2 - 3 minutes. Remove patties to a clean serving platter.
- For the sliders, spoon 1 tablespoon of the Crema Chili sauce on the bottom of each slider bun. Top with a piece of romaine lettuce, the burger patty, and 2 slices of tomato. Top tomatoes with another tablespoon of the Crema Chili sauce if desired. Place the slider bun top on and serve!
