GIANT DOUBLE DECKER TACO

Steps:

• Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large braiser or cast-iron skillet.
• Using tongs, slip half of a tortilla in the hot oil to form a taco shell shape. Using a metal spatula with the other hand, keep half the tortilla submerged until golden. Turn the tortilla so that the fried part now sticks out of the oil, letting the bottom fry, while making sure to keep the tortilla open about 2 inches wide. (This creates the necessary space to stuff it!) Then gently turn the tortilla and repeat the process so that the remaining side fries to a golden brown while the rest stays out of the oil. Let the taco shell drain on the lined sheet pan. Fry another tortilla in this manner; reserve the other two tortillas.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Place one unfried tortilla in a pan and top it edge to edge with cheese. Lightly broil until the cheese is just melted, but the tortilla isn't toasted. While still hot, "stick" the cheesy, non-crispy tortilla to the outside of a fried tortilla shell. Repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese and fried shell.
• Now build! Fill the cavity of the taco with some warm Taco Meat, followed by some lettuce, a drizzle of sour cream, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro.
• Serve with your favorite taco bib.
• Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the beef and chorizo and brown, breaking the meat up constantly into smaller little bits, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. (If there is a lot of rendered fat, remove all but 1 tablespoon of the fat.)
• Add the onions, chipotle powder and cumin. Cook until the onions are soft, another 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for just another 30 seconds. Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes. You want this taco meat to be pretty "tight" and dehydrated, not soupy or loose! Season to taste with salt and pepper.

DOUBLE DECKER BURGER

Steps:

• For the horseradish cream: Combine the sour cream, horseradish, salt and some pepper in a bowl. Add the iceberg lettuce and toss to combine.
• For the spicy ketchup: Combine the ketchup, Cajun spice and hot sauce in a bowl.
• For the burger: Mix the ground beef and salt and pepper blend in a bowl until well mixed. Do not over mix because it will make for a tough burger. Form into 8 patties.
• Preheat a flattop to medium-high heat, 300 degrees F, and then place the buttered interior of the buns face down on the flat top, cooking until golden brown. Then remove. Next, add 2 tablespoons grape seed oil to the flat top. Place the burgers on the oiled surface and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
• Assemble the tomatoes, onions and pickles on a cutting board. Then spread the spicy ketchup on the bottom bun. Place the first burger on the bun, then layer with tomatoes, onions and pickles. To finish, top with the lettuce mixture, and then stack a second burger on top. Score with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

THE BIG DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER & SECRET SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip the onions into a small bowl and pour over boiling water from the kettle until just covered. Leave to cool. Put all the sauce ingredients in another small bowl, then add 1 tbsp of the cooled onion water and mix until everything is evenly combined. Set aside.
• Halve two of the burger buns, then cut a thick slice from the middles of the other two buns. Toast or grill the middle slices on both sides and the other buns only on the cut sides, then set aside. Heat the oven to 100C/80C fan/gas 2.
• Divide the mince into four loose piles and season. Heat ¼ tbsp of the oil in a heavy frying pan or skillet over a high heat and put one of the piles of beef in the pan. Working quickly, cover with a square of baking parchment and carefully use a second pan to press the beef patties down - be careful of the heat and rising steam as you do this. Keep the patties pressed down for about 10 seconds, then remove the weight and the paper, and leave the burger to cook for 2 mins more. Turn the patties and press down using a spatula, cooking for another 1 min. Transfer to a tray and keep warm in the oven while you cook the other burgers in the same way.
• When all the patties are cooked, it's time to assemble the burgers. Spread some sauce over the bun bases, scatter with onions, then add lettuce, followed by a cheese slice, then a patty, a few gherkin slices and a middle slice of toasted bun. Spread over more sauce, then add more onions, lettuce, another patty and the bun tops. Serve with the oven fries and extra sauce on the side, if you like.
