FIESTA BURGER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, chorizo, onion powder, cumin and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Form the mixture into palm-size balls.
• Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the balls on the griddle and smash with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cook, flipping once, until cooked through. Divide the Cheddar and queso blanco among the burgers and let melt. Remove the burgers to a plate.

• Toast the slider buns on the griddle. Serve the burgers on the buns, topped with some rosada sauce.

SHUT OFF BURNER AND LET CHEESE MELT FOR 10 MINUTES. SERVE WITH SIDE SALAD AND TEXAS TOAST W/ GARLIC BUTTER.
• 4. You could probably use chipolte peppers, or any kind of peppers besides sweet green peppers, and you could probably also use a shredded monteray jack/cheddar mix or a jalapeno cheddar as well. We just like it the way the recipe called for to begin with...all those years ago.

EASY HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Shape ground beef into four 3/4-in.-thick patties. Just before grilling, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 5-7 minutes on each side. Top bun bottoms with burgers. If desired, serve with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and mayonnaise.

FIESTA BURGER

Steps:

• 1. Remove seeds and stem from dried chiles. For the New Mexico ones, you can usually buy mild, hot, or very hot, your preference. I use mild since I'm going for heat in this particular recipe.
• 2. Place chiles in food processor with garlic. Puree until both are ground up finely.
• 3. Remove from processor and place in a small bowl. Now add apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce and enough olive oil to make it the consistency you like. Then chop cilantro and mix in. The amount of cilantro will also be your preference.
• 4. Another tip to a great burger is grind your own beef if possible. I prefer chuck to make my burgers. Form patties and rub both sides with marinade. This will rub approx. 8 good size burgers.
