Welcome To Burger Month!

This year I am joining Kita of GirlCarnivore for a legendary burger month packed full of the most delicious delights your eyes and tastebuds will ever land upon.

I mean, I don’t even know all the burgers being made yet, but from what I’ve seen, it’s going to be phenomenal.

So, let’s start things off with a spicy bang, right?

What Is A Chorizo Burger?

Well, for starters, it isn’t only chorizo. But isn’t only beef and chorizo, either. I tried that and ended up with lovely beef crumbles. Delicious, but definitely not a burger, ha ha ha. You’re going to need:

• ground beef
• pork chorizo
• eggs
• bread crumbs
• salt + pepper

It’s almost like building a meatloaf, except way better. Because meatloaf is gross. Sorry, but it is. OK, I’m not sorry, but you get what I’m saying, right?!

What’s In This Mexican Street Corn Fritters Recipe?

Would you believe I don’t actually have a Mexican street corn recipe on my site?

Total blasphemy, I know. I have a recipe for street corn cups, but I haven’t posted it for reasons unknown. Probably because I need to take some better pictures first, ha.

But these fritters are so tasty I almost ate them all before I finished the burgers. You need:

• fresh corn
• serrano peppers
• chives
• fiery jack cheese
• milk
• chili powder
• paprika

You also need some flour and baking powder, and of course canola oil for frying. You want small nuggets, around one teaspoon of batter per fritter. I promise, if you don’t measure them, you’ll end up making them too big, which I did repeatedly, ha.

Take this Mexican street corn recipe and combine it with a corn fritters recipe for a treat you’ll be hard-pressed to put down.

Seriously, you won’t even need fries with this burger.

Instructions

• To prepare the burgers, add the ground beef, chorizo, eggs, panko, and salt to a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Divide the meat into 6 equal-sized balls and press into patties that are slightly larger than the width of the brioche buns. Place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add canola oil to a medium-sized pot to a depth of 3 inches. Heat to medium-high heat. Add fritter ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine. Batter with be very thick and sticky. When oil is hot, add teaspoon-sized chunks of batter and allow to fry for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then transfer to a sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter until none remains.
• Heat a grill or griddle pan to high heat and add the burgers. Grill for 6 minutes per side or until cooked through*, adding the sliced cheese in the last minute to melt. Spread a tablespoon of taco sauce on each bottom bun, then add the burger patty, and guacamole. Top with the Mexican street corn fritters. Spread each top bun with a tablespoon of ranch and add to the burger. Enjoy!

Notes

*because of the use of pork chorizo and eggs, it is not recommended to cook these burgers below well done. An alternative would be to cook the chorizo first and mix that with the ground beef, omitting the eggs and panko. Then you may cook the burger to a lesser doneness.
