  1. Quote from my husband: "You should put chorizo into our burgers all of the time". I was so surprised he not only liked the chorizo but loved it! This recipe gets 5 stars for that alone! I also really enjoyed the poblano avocado spread. It was the first time I've ever pickled onions and I really enjoyed them. Made for ZWT8 Mexico/SW/Tex-Mex. Gracias!
