The Spicy Mix-In That Gives Beef Burgers A Bolder Flavor
BY AUTUMN SWIERS
To up your burger game this season, blend Mexican chorizo with beef to create more flavorful burgers with some American Southwest culinary flair.
Mexican chorizo is a type of heavily-seasoned pork sausage, toting a trademark bright red hue from the spicy red pepper that's blended in.
Blending chorizo with ground beef brings savory flavors while maintaining the structural integrity for flip-able, grill-able, smash-able burgers with body.
Complement chorizo's lush fattiness with leaner ground beef, ideally with 10% fat. Use a ratio of two parts ground beef to one part chorizo.
