Ingredients

Instructions

1. Set up the grill for indirect heat: for charcoal, pile the coals on one side only; for gas, light only one side.
2. For the onions, put the butter, sliced onion and a pinch of salt in a medium saute pan. Set it on the indirect side and stir now and then until the onions are tender and deeply caramelized, about 1 hour. Take off the grill and set aside.
3. In a bowl, mix the beef and chorizo. Split evenly into 8 portions and press each into a deli container lid to make an even disk. Pop the 8 disks out of the lids.
4. Put the cheese in the centre of 4 disks, cover each with one of the remaining disks and seal the edges.
5. Preheat a large cast-iron pan on the direct side of the grill. Season both sides of the burgers with salt and drizzle with olive oil. Put the burgers in the pan and smash them right away with a spatula.
6. Cook about 2 minutes per side, then remove from the grill.
7. Spread mayonnaise on the buns and toast them on the indirect side of the grill.
8. Assemble each bun with caramelized onions, a burger, your chosen condiments and cilantro. Serve right away.
