Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ¼ cup minced onion

  • ¼ cup chopped poblano chile pepper

  • 8 ounces extra-lean ground beef

  • 4 ounces chorizo sausage

  • 1 ½ tablespoons red enchilada dry seasoning (such as Savory Spice Shop® Canyon Road)

  • 1 tablespoon tomato powder (such as Savory Spice Shop®)

  • ½ cup water

  • cup ketchup

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 avocado, sliced (Optional)

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and poblano pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a plate. Add ground beef and chorizo to the skillet. Cook, stirring often to break up meat, until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add enchilada seasoning and tomato powder. Add water, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Return cooked onion mixture to the skillet. Simmer until flavors combine, about 5 minutes more.

  2. Serve meat mixture on toasted buns topped with Oaxaca cheese and avocado.
