Instructions

First, turn the oven on to grill mode and preheat the grill to high.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, black pepper, kosher salt, cumin, and paprika.
Next, in a medium-sized bowl, mix the ground sirloin and chorizo until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and onion then mix again.
Then divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a 4-inch wide and 1-inch thick patty.
Using a tablespoon, press the center of the burger and create a dimple. This keeps the burger flat and prevents it from swelling in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
Put the patties on the grill and grill the burgers for 17 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remember to turn them over halfway.
Next, put a slice of pepper jack cheese on each one and grill for 1 minute until melted.
Remove from the grill. Serve each patty on a round bun and garnish with lettuce, rocket, and tomatoes.
