Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
• 6 ounces fresh chorizo
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 6 ounces mayonnaise
• 8 ounces roma tomato, diced
• 1/2 red onion, minced
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 2 limes, juiced
• Cayenne pepper
• 4 slices jalapeno jack cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 bib lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Mix together the beef and chorizo, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Form 4 patties, each around 6 ounces.
3. Blend the jalapeno with the mayonnaise to make a jalapeno aioli. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
4. Make a pico de gallo by combining the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.
5. Grill the burgers until well done, around 5 minutes per side. Top each with a slice of pepper jack cheese. Grill the buns.
6. Build the burgers by spreading a layer of jalapeno aioli on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of lettuce, the burger, some pico de gallo and finally the top bun with more aioli.
