The patties for these mouth-watering burgers are made from ground chorizo. You can buy raw sausages, remove the casings, and voila! – delicious ground chorizo is ready. All that's left is to form the patties and grill them. A few minutes before they're done, top each patty with a slice of pepper jack cheese to soften it. Instead of traditional burger sauce, serve the patties on buns with salsa verde, a Mexican green sauce made with tomatillos, chili peppers, cilantro, and lime juice. Top each burger with sliced avocado, sweet piquillo peppers, and red onion rings. It'll be deliciously juicy.
