    From the Test Kitchen

    These flavor-packed burgers feature ground chorizo (a Mexican-style spiced pork sausage) topped with melty mozzarella cheese and creamy guacamole. A side of cabbage and tomato slaw combined with mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and crunchy peanuts lends it all zesty, creamy contrast.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the lime to get 2 teaspoons. Halve the lime crosswise; squeeze the juice into a large bowl. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the cheese. Halve the buns.

    Make the slaw
    2 Make the slaw

    To the bowl of lime juice, add the mayonnaise and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper; whisk to combine. Add the sliced cabbage and halved tomatoes. Toss to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Form the patties
    3 Form the patties

    In a large bowl, combine the chorizo and breadcrumbs. Gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. Transfer to a plate.

    Cook the patties
    4 Cook the patties

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the patties. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip the patties (carefully, as the oil may splatter) and top with the sliced cheese. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties are browned and cooked through.* Transfer to a plate; wipe out the pan. 

    *The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 160°F for pork.
