Ingredients

For The Spanish Sliders

1 lb ground pork chorizo
1 ¼ lb ground beef
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp paprika
¼ tsp cayenne
salt and pepper to taste
1 green onion diced
2 garlic cloves minced
6-8 slices Manchego cheese
1 jar roasted red pepper
lettuce pieces for topping
16 slider buns

For The Red Pepper Mayo Sauce

½ cup mayo
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon dried chili pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
1 small garlic clove minced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine the ground beef, ground chorizo, Worcestershire, paprika, salt & pepper, green onion, and garlic cloves in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
Form 16 2-3 oz patties. Add the slider patties to a lightly oiled pan and cook for 3 minutes per side. Add the Manchego cheese slices during the last minute of cooking.
Toast the buns. Heat a small pat of butter (or oil) in a large pan or skillet. Place the slider buns cut side down and toast for about 30 seconds until golden. Watch them carefully to ensure they don’t burn!
While the sliders are cooking, make the red pepper mayo. Mix the ingredients for the red pepper mayo together in a small bowl. Spread the spicy mayo onto the toasted buns.
Assemble the Spanish sliders. Add the slider patties to the base of the bun, top with lettuce, and roasted red pepper, and serve.

Notes

Don't cook the sliders for too long - they only need about 2-3 minutes per side.
Size the slider patties slightly larger than your bun.
Toast the bun to help prevent it from absorbing all the juices from the slider and becoming soggy.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freeze unused burger meat in a ziplock bag for up to 3 months.
Freeze leftover cooked sliders by individually wrapping in plastic wrap and placing all of them in a ziplock freezer bag. Store for up to 6 months in the freezer.
