Gotta love chorizo in a burger with its smoky heat. Next time I’d increase the amount of chorizo with the beef. The heat was matched well by the pico de gallo, although I’d decrease the amount of lime.
afleming321 I don’t know how you can rate a recipe when you altered it so significantly. Chorizo and pepperoni seem so much different to me.

The use of ground beef and chorizo are amazing. The flavour from the spicy chorizo just compliments the beef very well. I will try this burger.
Delicious burger. I used hot and spicy pepperoni since my grocery store didn’t have the chorizo. Also, to give it some more kick I used horseradish instead of mayo and added a teaspoon of sour cream and some spicy mustard with the minced jalepeno. The combinations of all the flavors were really good. Will definitely make again.
