Use a food processor to grind the meat into a coarse ground beef.

Season the ground beef with all-purpose seasoning.

Add fresh chorizo to the ground beef mixture.

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

Prepare a salsa using cubed peppers, onions, chopped garlic, cilantro, and adobo criollo.
