Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef at least 80%
6 ounces Cacique® Beef Chorizo
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
9 ounces Cacique® Enchilado Cheese cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 soft brioche hamburger buns cut in half
Iceberg lettuce leaves
2 medium tomatoes sliced
red onion rings
1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced

Instructions

Heat gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
In large bowl, mix beef, chorizo, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 6 equal-size balls. Press 4 to 6 cubes of cheese into the center of each ball and cover completely with meat. Form the balls into hamburger patties, about 1/2-inch thick.
Place patties on grill and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once. During last 2 minutes place buns on grill to toast. Remove burgers and buns from grill; cover to keep warm.
Top with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and avocado slices as desired on a toasted bun.

Notes

You can use bacon instead of beef chorizo and cheddar cheese in lieu of enchilado cheese.
