Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of butter, melted to a golden hue
- A quarter cup of finely minced onion, releasing its aromatic essence
- A quarter cup of vibrant poblano chile pepper, finely chopped to add a touch of heat
- Eight ounces of extra-lean ground beef, perfect for a hearty base
- Four ounces of flavorful chorizo sausage, adding a hint of spice
- One and a half tablespoons of red enchilada dry seasoning, like the one from Savory Spice Shop® Canyon Road, for a burst of flavor
- A tablespoon of tomato powder, sourced from the renowned Savory Spice Shop®, for depth
- A generous half cup of water, to bring all the flavors together
- A third cup of ketchup, offering a hint of sweetness
- Two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, for a savory kick
- An optional ripe avocado, sliced delicately for a creamy touch
- Half a cup of Oaxaca cheese, shredded to your liking, for a gooey finish
- Four hamburger buns, split and toasted to perfection
Step 1
Start by melting butter in a skillet on medium heat until it sizzles. Sauté the diced onion and poblano pepper until they become tender and fragrant, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Once done, transfer this flavorful mix onto a waiting plate.
Step 2
Now, it's time to introduce the ground beef and chorizo to the skillet. Cook and stir frequently to ensure the meat browns evenly and becomes crumbly, giving it that desirable texture. This step usually takes between 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Next, season the meat with a blend of enchilada seasoning and tomato powder for that authentic Mexican flavor. Pour in water, ketchup, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the taste profile. Reunite the sautéed onion mixture with the meat in the skillet and let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
To serve, pile this delicious meat medley onto lightly toasted buns, generously topping it off with creamy Oaxaca cheese and fresh slices of ripe avocado. Enjoy this mouthwatering creation!
