Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound fresh chorizo or bulk spicy pork sausage
- 6 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons canned chopped green chiles
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 6 slices tomato
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions
- In a large bowl, combine beef and chorizo, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into six 6-in. patties. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat (or broil 3-4 in. from heat) until a thermometer reads 160°, 6-8 minutes on each side. Top with cheese; grill, covered, until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes longer.
- Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, chiles, cilantro and lime juice. Top burgers with sauce, tomato, avocado and, if desired, pickled onions and hot pepper sauce. Wrap in lettuce leaves.
