Chorizo Burgers with Fried Eggs and Onions
Serves: 6 Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Chorizo sausage
- 2 red onions
- 6 eggs
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 avocados
- 1 lime
- Cooking fat
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to Make Chorizo Burgers with Eggs and Onions
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Chorizo sausage meat with the ground beef.
Shape the mixture into 6 large patties, seasoning each patty with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the patties on a roasting pan and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle. If unsure, check with a meat thermometer. It should read 160°F internally for safe consumption.
While the patties are cooking, heat a skillet on the stovetop and sauté onions until they are caramelized in your preferred cooking fat. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
Using the same skillet, cook eggs over easy, making sure to keep the yolks runny.
Once the patties are done cooking, assemble the burgers by topping them with a squeeze of lime juice, fried onions, tomato slices, avocados, and fried eggs.
