Al Pastor
Directions
- Mix pork, beef, onion, garlic, and cilantro in a bowl. Form into 4 loose meat balls and place in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. NOTE: Chilling the meat prior to cooking will help with producing abetter crust on the patties.
- Preheat the flat top to medium-high heat (400° degrees).
- Place pineapple slices on flat top and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until caramelized. Set aside.
- Place meatballs on the hot flat top. Smash to 1/4 inch thick with spatula pressing down. NOTE: Use parchment paper between spatula and meat ball to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle each patty with 1/4 tbsp. Spanglish Asadero Al Pastor seasoning.
- Cook 2-3 minutes until a crust forms. Flip, season the other side, and top each with a cheese slice. Cook for an additional 1-2minutes, until cheese melts and internal temperature reaches your desired doneness.
- Coat burger buns with a little butter or cooking spray and toast on the flat top for about 30 seconds, until golden brown.
- Assemble your burgers with mayonnaise or aioli on the bottom bun, and then layer the lettuce, pineapple slice, the cheesy burger patty, 2 tbsp. guacamole, pickled onions, and then the top bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
