Spicy Queso Burger
Ingredients:
-
4 oz. white processed cheese (such as Velveeta) or white American cheese, cubed
-
4 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
-
1/4 cup half-and-half
-
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
-
1/4 tsp. black pepper
-
1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
-
1 lb. ground beef chuck (80% lean)
-
14 to 16 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
-
4 brioche hamburger buns, split and toasted
-
Lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced red onion, and pickled jalapeños, for topping
Instructions:
-
Combine the processed cheese, cheddar, half-and-half, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted, and the sauce is creamy, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the green chiles. Keep warm.
-
Combine the beef and chorizo in a large bowl. Form the meat into four 3⁄4-inch-thick patties.
-
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties, cover, and cook until well-marked and the internal temperature reads 160˚F, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
-
Spread each bun bottom with some of the queso. Add lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Place the burgers on top, then add more queso, pickled jalapeños, and the bun tops.

Fun Fact: Chorizo gets its bold, smoky flavor (and that signature red color) from paprika; especially in Spanish-style chorizo, which has been seasoned this way for centuries
