Chimichurri Cheeseburger with Sriracha Fuego Yum Yum Sauce
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)
Saute the onions and peppers in a little bit of oil, season with salt and pepper. Let cool down for a couple of minutes.
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.
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.
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.
