Turkey chorizo is leaner while pork sausage is more affordable.

Combine ground beef and minced chorizo in a bowl until well mixed.

Season the mixture with salt and chilli.

Form the mixture into patties, pressing firmly to hold together.

Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the patties and place Manchego or Cotija cheese on top.

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and patties are cooked through.

Prepare the Pico de gallo by chopping tomato, red onion, and parsley.

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.

Layer the Pico de gallo on the bottom bun.

Add the cooked chorizo cheeseburger patty on top.

Top with sliced avocado if desired.

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
