Chorizo Sliders
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 lb. lean ground beef (90% fat free)
- 1 – 9 oz. package Cacique® Beef, Pork or Soy Chorizo
- Cacique® Queso Blanco Dip
- 1 Cacique® Homestyle Medium or Mild Salsa
- 1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and leaves separated
- 8 small slider buns, split in half
HOW TO MAKE IT
- In a medium sized bowl, add the ground meat and Chorizo. Using your hands, mix the meat and Chorizo together until thoroughly combined.
- Divide meat mixture into 8 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a 3 1/2 inch diameter patty and place on a platter.
- 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. 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.
- Toast the slider buns and add a piece of romaine lettuce and meat of the bottom of each slider bun. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of Cacique® Queso Blanco Dip and 1 tablespoon of Cacique® Homestyle Salsa. Place the slider bun tops on and serve!
