BURGERS

2 dried chorizo sausages (4 oz total), halved lengthwise, removed from casings and cut in small chunks
1/2 cup cilantro leaves

2 large scallions, cut in 2-in. pieces

1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and cut in large pieces

1 clove garlic, smashed

1 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/2lb 90% lean ground beef

6 burrito-size (8-in.) flour tortillas, stacked and wrapped in foil Nonstick spray

6 slices (1 oz each) Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers

6 lettuce leaves

3/4 cup each guacamole, purchased or homemade, and salsa

PREPARATION

1. Burgers: Put all ingredients except beef in a food processor. Pulse until very finely chopped and blended. Scrape into a large bowl; add beef and gently mix to combine. Shape into 6 oval burgers, about 5 in. long and 3/4 in. thick.

2. Heat outdoor grill. Put tortillas on grill to warm while burgers cook.

3. Coat burgers with nonstick spray. Grill, turning once, 8 to 12 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted from side to middle registers 160°F. Top with cheese; cover grill 45 seconds or until cheese starts to melt.

4. Unwrap tortillas; place a lettuce leaf toward one end of each, lining up edges. Top with a burger; spoon on 2 Tbsp each guacamole and salsa. Fold opposite end of tortilla up and over burger and toppings, then fold in sides.
