Huevos Rancheros Burger with Hatch Chile Sauce

(This recipe serves 2)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb ground beef (organic grass-fed preferred)
• 2 tablespoons chorizo
• Chihuahua cheese or preferred melting cheese
• 1/4 onion, sliced and sautéed
• 2 eggs (over-easy)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Chile Co. Red Chile Roast
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Chile Co. Pure Green Chile Roast
• 2 burger buns (sesame seed recommended)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 russet potatoes, cut into crinkle fries
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup corn masa harina
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder
• Butter or oil for cooking
• Fresh Chile Co. Mama’s Salsa (for dipping or garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the fries: Cut potatoes into crinkle fries. Rinse and soak in water for 30 minutes to remove starch. Pat dry. First fry in 275°F oil for 5 minutes. Set aside.

2. Make the burger patty: Loosely form ground beef into a patty. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Form the chorizo patty: Press chorizo into a thin patty.

4. Bread the chorizo: Mix flour and masa harina (3:1 ratio) with salt. Dip chorizo patty in flour mix, then beaten egg, then back into flour mix.

5. Fry the chorizo: Heat oil to 350°F. Fry chorizo patty until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F. Set aside.

6. Sauté onions and cook egg: Cook onions in butter or oil until soft. Fry eggs over-easy. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Grill the burger patty: Cook to your preferred doneness. Top with Chihuahua cheese.

8. Finish the fries: Fry potatoes again in 350°F oil until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with kosher salt.

9. Assemble the burger: On the bottom bun, layer the grilled patty, chile roasts, fried chorizo, over-easy egg, and sautéed onions. Add extra chile sauce or salsa if desired. Top with bun.

10. Garnish and serve: Plate with crispy fries, avocado fan, sour cream, and a side of Fresh Chile Co. Mama’s Salsa.

Serving tip: This burger is big on bold flavor — serve with lime wedges or fresh cilantro for an extra kick.
