Chicken Chorizo Burgers With Avocado Lime Mayo Recipes

CHICKEN CHORIZO BURGERS WITH AVOCADO LIME MAYO

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine chicken, chorizo, jalapeno, salt, and pepper, and pulse with the steel blade until well combined and meat is ground together. Form into 12 slider-sized patties or 6 burger-sized patties. Cook in a pan or grill for about 5 minutes per side or till cooked through. Serve on buns with desired toppings.
• In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and pulse until well combined. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (This spread can be made ahead-the lime juice will keep the mixture from browning).

CHILE-LIME CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, grill or large grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots or onions, bell peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool for 2 minutes.
• Add the ground chicken or turkey, cilantro, the lime zest, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the cumin and crushed red pepper to the bowl with the shallots and bell peppers. Mix well with your hands until combined. Divide into 4 equal mounds and form each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
• Cook the patties until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, combine the avocado with the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Lightly smash the avocado with a fork to combine.
• Top the bottom buns with the lettuce, patties, tomato slices and mashed avocados. Close the burgers and serve.

CHICKEN -CHORIZO BURGERS WITH AVOCADO MAYO

Steps:

• INSTRUCTIONS Prepare grill or broiler.
• To prepare mayonnaise, combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until combined.
• Cover and chill mayonnaise mixture.
• To prepare burgers, remove casings from sausage.
• Place sausage, salt, tortillas, chicken, and jalapeno in food processor; process 30 seconds or until mixture is coarsely ground.
• Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
• Place patties on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 7 minutes on each side or until done.
• Cut rolls in half horizontally; spread 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixture over top half of each roll.
• Place tomato slices on bottom halves of rolls; top each with 1 patty and top half of each roll.

SMASHED AVOCADO-CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small serving bowl, combine the mayonnaise and soy sauce. Season with the juice of 1 lime wedge and salt as needed.
• In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash and thoroughly combine the chopped cilantro, mashed avocado, scallions, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the soy-lime mayonnaise. Add the chicken and gently combine. Form into 4 large balls.
• Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until very hot, 1½ to 2 minutes. Add the neutral oil or ghee, then add the chicken meatballs, spacing them out in the pan. Use a metal spatula to press them until they form ½-inch-thick patties. Cook without moving for 3½ to 4 minutes, until a deep golden crust has formed and they easily release from the pan. Flip the patties using the spatula and cook until done with a nice crust on the other side, about 3 minutes more. If the patties need more time, cover the pan and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid scorching.
• Squeeze a lime wedge over the patties and serve sandwiched between the buns topped with lettuce, a healthy slathering of the lime-mayonnaise, avocado slices, jalapeño slices if using, and cilantro sprigs, if desired. Serve with the remaining lime wedges and mayonnaise on the side.
