Preparation

Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the casing from the raw chorizo sausages and place it in a large bowl along with the ground pork, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, and ancho chile powder, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form patties with your hands. Heat up a skillet with some oil and fry the patties on each side, place on a tray with parchment paper and finish cooking in the oven (about 10 minutes at 350F). Check the patties and once they’re cooked remove them from the oven.
Place the pineapple, apple cider vinegar and sugar in the blender and blend until pureed. Season with salt and pepper and blend again. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Pour the pineapple sauce in a small dish and mix in the jalapeno and red onions.
In a small bowl mix the mayo and chipotle pepper making sure the pepper is well incorporated (sometimes you need a fork to break it down).
To plate, toast your hamburger bun, then spread some of the smokey mayo on each bun, add the burger patty, then top with a generous amount of the pineapple sauce. Top with lettuce and tomatoes and you’re done!
