Our Creative Cooking Crew’s challenge for February: “Let’s get creative with “Not Your Mickey D Burger”.
This is probably my shortest post ever as I have been quite crazy lately.
Now, to this post. I decided to call it a puequito (little pork in Spanish) burger because I took about 4 boneless pork chops using Cuisine Art’s grinding meat post. Adding to it cooked and crumbled Spanish chorizo, one chopped onion caramelized in the chorizo rendered fat and crumbled green plantain chips seasoned with garlic to bind. Grilled it, added shredded Manchego cheese, sweet plantain and mango salsa, extra layers of arugula, grape tomatoes, avocado and the pesto to spread on bun.
You are probably thinking that it is a crazy combination, but it worked for me and we enjoyed it thoroughly.
BUEN PROVECHO!

Where is the recipe?
I just eyeballed it. Sometimes I put up a post without recipe. Been so busy. Sorry.
Another great looking dish and I’m very intrigued enough to try it out! However, 1) I’m up north and we have been having at least 8-12 inches of snow every weekend! 2) I’m not understanding how you put the burgers together. Would it work if the ingredients were raw ie: ground pork and de-skinned minced chorizos mixed together? Is the onion a garnish once caramlized or does the cooked onion go in the patty? What type of pesto, basil or a cilantro mayonnaise? Gosh my mouth is watering!!!!!!! Maybe I’ll get the ‘George Forman’ out of the pantry instead of waiting for warmer BBQ weather!
Once you cook the chorizo you add to the raw ground pork and using the chorizo fat you cook the onions adding them to the meat before grinding. I know this post is a little crazy. Just as I have been lately. The pesto is made with manchego cheese, pumpkin seeds and cilantro plus olive oil
Will try it! Thanks for the clarification.
That must have been bursting with flavor!! Love the idea of using crumbled plantain chips as a binder. And all those toppings! Muy bien hecho amiga!
OMG, I want this now!!!
The pictures are gorgeous
Thanks Brenda,,,coming from you is a great compliment

Delicioso! Gracias
Thank you, my dear!
I know I would love this!
Beautiful, colourful and totally appetizing. I love plantains too and have a couple on my counter. May try the chips with them.
This sounds and looks (and I’ll bet tastes) like a ton of bright fun flavors and goodness.
This is probably the most colorful burger I’ve ever seen! I love all the flavors in there. I’m sure it tasted great 🙂
LOVE all the components and color of this burger. mmmmm…chorizo….kind of like a Cuban frita, si?
