Chorizo And Chimichurri Sliders

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and chili flakes to create the chimichurri sauce.

2. 2

   Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground chorizo and ground beef until just mixed; do not overwork the meat.

4. 4

   Form the meat mixture into 12 small patties, slightly larger than the diameter of the slider buns to account for shrinkage.

5. 5

   Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until fully cooked through.

6. 6

   During the last minute of cooking, place a small piece of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty to melt.

7. 7

   Lightly toast the slider buns on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.

8. 8

   Assemble the sliders by placing a patty on each bun base, topping with a generous spoonful of chimichurri and sliced red onions, then adding the bun top.
