Instructions:
- Peel and thinly slice the onions.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil (optional) and cook the onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and chorizo. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Season the mixture with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a patty, pressing gently to flatten. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C).
- Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs and fry them to your preferred level of doneness. Sunny-side-up is recommended for a rich, runny yolk that complements the burger well.
- While the patties and eggs are cooking, slice the avocados and tomatoes.
- Cut the lime into wedges.
- Place each chorizo burger patty on a plate or a bun if you prefer.
- Top each patty with a fried egg.
- Add the caramelized onions.
- Layer with slices of avocado and tomato.
- Serve the chorizo burgers with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of citrus.
- Optionally, you may add additional toppings or condiments according to your preference.
