Latin Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Latin cuisine prides itself on the depth and diversity of flavors that result from using local and readily available ingredients. Latin food is sometimes known for being spicy, it’s true – but it’s also hearty, sweet, savory, refined, comforting, healthy, smoky, salty, and over-the-top delicious – just like this dish. These zesty burgers combine chorizo, a spicy jalapeño relish and Maggi Liquid Seasoning for a super-craveable Latin flavor explosion!

    Tip 4

    Use a comal to cook the burgers instead of grilling them for an authentic Latin cooking method.

    Tip 2

    For more authentic flavor, substitute Oaxaca cheese for mozzarella cheese.
