3/4 lb ground sirlion

1 T. adobo seasoning
1 large onion, grated
1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
In a large bowl, mix thoroughly by hand-ground beef, chorizo, adobo seasoning, grated onion, and the bread crumbs. Form the burgers into 6 patties without them too much or they could become tough. Line a baking pan with waxed paper and put the burgers on in a single layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 mins. This will help the burgers hold together.

2 T. olive oil
2 large yellow onions, finely sliced

1/2 c. bottled, sliced jalapeno chiles, drained
1/2 c. dark brown sugar

3/4 c. mayo
Drain the red peppers and put them in the blender or food processor. Add mayo, and season with salt and pepper.

6 slices Oaxaca cheese or mozzarella
6 hamburger rolls
To make the burgers:
Preheat grill to med-high heat. Place the burgers on the grill and grill til desired doneness although with the raw chorizo you will want to grill to at least med-well. Approximately 10 mins per side. In the last 5 mins of cooking top with the slices of cheese so it can melt.
