Instructions
- Mix in the cayenne pepper into the chorizo meat. Divide the chorizo meat into four portions. Flatten the meat into thin patties.
- Pan fry the chorizo burger patties in a medium-high heat pan or griddle or cast iron pan, about 3 - 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest before using them in burgers.
- Rested chorizo burgers can be used immediately, or can be frozen for later use. Place the burger patties in a stack with wax paper between each, in an air-tight container, OR freezer bag. Place the frozen patties in the fridge overnight to thaw, and then microwave for 2 minutes to reheat.
