These Beef and Chorizo Burgers With Roasted Chile Mayo take traditional burgers to the next level. The addition of chorizo adds bold and spicy flavors to the beef, while the roasted chile mayo provides a smoky and creamy topping. The poblano chile used in the mayo adds a nice touch of heat without being overpowering. These burgers are an excellent option for a summertime cookout or any casual dinner party. Serve with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a green salad.

Instructions

1.Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2.Combine mayonnaise, garlic, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl.
3.Roast poblano chile over direct heat on a grill or gas stovetop flame until charred all over.
4.Transfer poblano to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let steam until skin peels off easily, then discard skin, stems, and seeds. Coarsely chop poblano and stir into mayonnaise mixture.
5.Combine beef, chorizo, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until everything is well combined. Do not overmix.
6.Form beef mixture into four ¾-inch-thick burgers. Use your thumb to make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty. This helps the patties cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up while cooking.
7.Grill burgers to desired doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. When burgers are almost done, top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt while burgers cook.
8.Toast buns on the grill if desired. Spread a tablespoon of roasted chile mayo onto each bun. Top with burgers and chopped tomatoes.

PROS

These burgers have a smoky and spicy flavor from the chorizo and roasted chile mayo, making them a delicious twist on classic burgers.
Using lean beef keeps them slightly healthier than traditional all-beef burgers.

CONS

Chorizo is a high-fat sausage, so these burgers are not as healthy as other burger options.
The addition of cheese and mayonnaise also adds to the calorie and fat count.
As with all burgers, portion control is key.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients. Chorizo adds flavor but also adds fat and calories. The roasted poblano chile in the mayo provides a good source of vitamin C and other antioxidants. When served with a whole grain bun and lots of vegetables, this burger can be part of a healthy and balanced diet.
