Pork Chorizo Burgers

I got this recipe from Blue Apron - of all the blue apron recipes I've tried, this is definitely my favorite! It is incredibly easy to make and easy for a weeknight meal! Pair it with a salad for a delectable meal :)

Ingredients
- chorizo - we used about 1.3 lbs (this made about 6-8 patties)
- mayo - about 2 tablespoons
- fig spread - about 1 tablespoon
- panko crumbs - we used 1/2 cup or a little more
- red onions
- sliced red peppers
- bread: can do potato buns, brioche buns, or even wheat bread which is all I had
- +/- cheese: we used shredded white cheddar cheese because that's all we had in our fridge

1. Combine chorizo with panko crumbs. Depending on the amount of chorizo, you can add more or less panko bread crumbs. No need to add salt because chorizo is salty enough. Add pepper to taste.

2. In a pan over medium heat, add red peppers and onions and cook. Should be about 2-3 minutes. Remove onions and sliced red peppers.

3. In the same pan, add additional oil. Cook pork chorizo patties. Cover the pan. Cook each side about 4 minutes. Can turn heat from medium to low-medium if needed. Add cheese to top of the patty about 1 minute before patty is done and cover the pan.

4. Make fig mayo with 2 parts mayo and 1 part fig. We did 2 tablespoons of mayo + 1 tablespoon fig. Mix together.

4. On a potato bun (or even toasted wheat bread), spread fig mayo on bread. Add chorizo burger. Add peppers and onions over the patty.



Enjoy!
