| Yield: | 12 sliders |
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Spanish chorizo, casing removed and coarsely chopped
- 1 3/4 pounds ground pork or beef
- About 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika, a scant palmful
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1/2 pound Manchego cheese, shredded
- 2 avocados
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 large clove garlic, pasted or grated
- A small handful fresh cilantro leaves, optional
- About 1/4 to 1/3 cup light cream
- 12 slider rolls or split brioche rolls
- Small Bibb lettuce leaves, for topping
- Sliced plum tomatoes, for topping
- Sliced small red onion, for topping
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Grind the chorizo in a food processor into very small crumbles. Place the ground chorizo and ground pork in a bowl and season with Worcestershire, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to the meat mixture and combine. Form 12 patties that are thinner at the center than the edges. Cook the sliders 3 minutes per side. Pile shredded cheese onto the burgers for the last minute of cook time to melt.
- Meanwhile, place the avocados in a food processor. Add the lemon juice, garlic, cilantro, if desired, and cream, and process until very smooth and mayo-like in consistency.
- Serve the sliders on rolls topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado cream sauce.

Very good! This was the first time I used Manchego cheese…it was really yummy! My husband liked it too…I will be making this one again!
So delicious and spicy, and most of all very juicy, Really loved this recipe.
I am a big fan of Chorizo. The heat and spice make it very versatile for all types of dishes. Its a hit in this dish. Made these as an appetizer. The avocado cream evens out the heat and gives the sandwich a creamy texture in every bite. I like to make mine a bit crispy on the top and bottom – the crunch, the heat and the creamy avocado tasted so delicious. One of my family members said they would love this as a breakfast sandwich – I couldn’t disagree – either way these are awesome.
These were so good that I actually tried it as both a meatloaf and mini meatloaves! Served them with the avocado cream sauce on each slice!! Definitely a keeper!!
Delicious! The combination of flavors is awesome. the burgers have serious flavor, the avocado spreadis great. Will definitely be making this again!
I have made there 3 times over the last few months…they are fantastic. Not too spicy but enough flavor to be different from another a regular slider. The avocado creme is a must! It is amazing!! I am thinking about making them for Father’s day using a full size burger…Yum!
These are amazing and so easy!
It was something different to try and it was good enough that I would make it again but it was not great. I did not try the sauce though; I’m not an avocado fan. 🙂
Made these last night using pork chorizo, ground turkey and Kings Hawaiian Rolls – turned out excellent. The avocado cream sauce is really good – I’ll be using that for other foods as well.
