Notes
- Wear gloves when handling the Chorizo. It is messy and can stain your fingers.
- Use hot green chilies or jalapenos for an extra kick.
- Add Tapatio on top of the burger for even more kick!
- Press the burger patties as they brown. Chorizo is very fatty and this will get the extra fat and liquid out.
