Spicy Guacamole Bacon Burger

To make the patties:

• Combine the ground beef and chorizo in a large bowl and work with your hands until it’s completely mixed together. Use your hands to form the meat into 8 equal size burger patties. Season with salt and pepper and grill over medium heat until cooked to your desired doneness.

To make the Spicy Guacamole:

• Remove the peel and pit from the avocados and place in a medium-size bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you’ve reached your desired consistency. Add the remaining ingredients for the guacamole to the bowl. *Remove the seeds from the chipotle chili pepper to reduce the heat of the guacamole, or add more peppers to increase the heat.
• Stir the guacamole ingredients together, taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

To make the Chipotle Mayo:

• Combine the mayo and chipotle chili pepper in a blender or food processor (remove seeds to reduce heat) and add 1 tsp of milk, blend until smooth, adding more milk if needed to make the mayo a little thinner.

To Assemble:

• Spread the chipotle mayo on both the top and bottom bun, layer on lettuce, tomato slices, guacamole, grilled hamburger, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Enjoy!
