Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 pound chorizo
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 can Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies 14.5 oz
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 3 avocados, peeled, pitted and mashed
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper
- 10 hamburger buns
Instructions
Step one
Mix together ground beef and ground chorizo with Worcester sauce, dried onion and garlic. Form into 10 even patties.
Step two
Mix 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, oregano, cilantro, and red pepper in a flat dish. Place each hamburger patty in the dish and coat thoroughly with spice mix.
Step three
Combine petite diced tomatoes, onion, avocado, lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, chili powder, and red pepper. Chill avocado topping before serving.
Step four
Grill burger over high heat for about 2 minutes per side, then remove from heat and grill an additional 6 minutes on indirect heat. This can be achieved by using a higher rack found on many gas grills or by placing the coals on only one side of a charcoal grill.
Step five
In the last minute of grilling place buns cut side down on grill. Remove and serve burgers on toasted buns topped with guacamole spread.
