Ingredients:
- 1 pound of ground chicken
- 4 ounces of chorizo sausage, casing removed and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Burger buns, lettuce, tomato slices, and any other desired toppings
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped chorizo, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly golden. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Assemble the chicken and chorizo burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun and topping with lettuce, tomato slices, and any other desired toppings. Serve the burgers hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors in every bite.
