Chimichurri Cheeseburger with Sriracha Fuego Yum Yum Sauce

Burger Patties:
(makes 2 patties)

  • 14 oz Ground Beef (recommend 85% Lean - 15% Fat)
  • 1 tbsp Skinny Latina Chimichurri (your choice of Caliente or regular) 
  • 1 tbsp onion, small diced
  • 1 tbsp bell pepper, small diced
  • Slices of Monterey Jack or your choice of cheese
  • Salt and pepper 
  • Oil for cooking (I used Avocado oil)
  1. Saute the onions and peppers in a little bit of oil, season with salt and pepper. Let cool down for a couple of minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, sauteed onion and peppers, Skinny Latina Chimichurri, salt and pepper. This will give you 2 good sized patties. 
  3. Cook in a skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat, I used a little bit of avocado oil and I used the same pan that I cooked the onions and peppers in. 
  4. Flip the burgers and cook until your desired doneness. Turn off the heat and place the cheese on top of each patty, cover with a lid and let the cheese melt. Remove and let rest for a couple of minutes. You can also serve right away so all the meat juices get soaked by the burger bun

Sriracha Fuego Yum Yum Sauce: 
Mix the following ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use.

  • 1 cup mayo 
  • 1 tsp Skinny Latina Sriracha Fuego (measure this one depending on how spicy you want it)
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp butter, soft or slightly melted 
  • 1 tbsp honey

I recommend making it at least a couple of hours before serving so all the flavors marry together nicely.
