Cowboy Tumbleweed Burgers

Burgers made from beef and chorizo topped with caramelized onions, bacon, and spicy jalapenos!

I was totally on board when I saw this burger had jalapenos and bacon. I was even more on board when I found out that it was a mix of beef and chorizo. I was literally the board when I found out it had caramelized onions - haha! This burger has all sorts of good toppings to go with an excellent combination of traditional beef and spicy chorizo. I loaded mine up with jalapenos and caramelized onions and it was just plain good. I know that's not a particularly strong descriptive word, but sometimes that's just the best way to say it. Good.

What you need:

• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 lb. ground Chorizo
• 2 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning
• 2 cups yellow sweet onions, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1/4 tsp. salt 
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• Romaine lettuce leaves
• Bacon, cooked and broken in half
• Thinly sliced cheddar jack cheese
• Pickled jalapenos
• Hamburger buns

Directions:

1.  In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, chorizo, and Montreal steak seasoning until just combined. Divide into 6 patties then place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until other toppings are ready to go.
2. Preheat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter, water, onions, salt, and pepper. Stir until butter has melted.
3. Cook onions over medium-low until golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove to a plate or bowl and tent with foil to keep warm.
4. Grill or cook burgers in a skillet, browning on each side, flipping one time. Add cheese in last few minutes of cooking.
5. Assemble burgers like so: bottom bun, burger, two half pieces of bacon, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onions, jalapenos, top bun.

Another Tex Mex style burger that y'all must try is this recipe for Enchilada Burgers - it's topped with fresh pico de gallo and you can even throw some avocado on it. It's not a burger, but this Totchos Supreme recipe from Foodie with Family is a great way to use chorizo!
