Mesha''s Ultimate Chorizo Burger Part 2

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

burger buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns add fiber and nutrients.

avocado

🥗Healthier: smashed peas

💰Cheaper: store-bought guacamole

Smashed peas offer a similar creamy texture.

Preheat the oven to cook bacon.

In a bowl, combine 1 pound of ground chuck and 4 ounces of chorizo sausage.

Add paprika, 4 stalks of chopped scallions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture.

Stir the mixture to combine and form patties, then set aside.

For the sauce, add 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, juice of 1/2 a large lemon, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to a food processor.

Blend the sauce until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.

Heat a skillet and sear the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side (total of 8-10 minutes).

Add cheddar and provolone cheese on top of the burger and cover the skillet to melt the cheese for a couple of minutes.

Assemble the burger: spread the sauce on the bread, add sliced tomatoes, the burger patty, crisscrossed bacon, and top with a sunny-side egg.

Garnish with cilantro and serve.
