Birria Burger

Crunchy Birria Burger

Author Mark & Fey
Course Dinner, Lunch, Sandwich, Tailgate
Keyword Beef, birria, Burgers, Smash burgers
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 8 Oaxaca cheese shredded by hand
  • 1 pound cooked birria local is best but many grocery stores sell this too
  • 2 cups birria cooking liquid aka consomme
  • 4 burger buns
  • Handful of corn tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde

Instructions

  • Divide the beef into 4 portions. Form the beef into loosely packed rounds — like a meatball. Set aside while you prep the grill.
  • Heat a grill to two-zone cooking. Toast the burger buns over high heat and then set aside.
  • Heat a large griddle or skillet over direct heat. Add four mounds of Oaxaca cheese and as it begins to melt, top each with the birria. Top with about 2 tablespoons of consomme and cook until the cheese is melted and crispy on the bottom. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the burger patties.
  • Working in batches of two, add two beef rounds to the skillet at a time – season each with salt. Let the burger balls cook until some fat pools at the bottom of the burger. Use a large flat spatula to press down hard on each patty for 2 minutes. The burger should be super thin and have a diameter that is at least two inches wider than the bun (if your pan is too small you may only be able to do one at a time).
  • When the juices in the middle of the burger start to bubble up, flip the burger. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes then top each patty with Oaxaca cheese and consomme, cook until melted.
  • Build the burgers by topping the bottom bun with a burger patty, then the cheese skirted birria, a few chips and some salsa verde before topping with the top bun.

Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • Kosher salt for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • Freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 english muffins
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperonis
  • 1 bunch fresh basil

Instructions

  • Combine the turkey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Heat a small cast iron skillet over medium high heat and the fennel seeds and toast for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove the seeds to a plate to cool quickly.
  • Add the cooled fennel seeds to the turkey mixture and work together with your hands. Divide the turkey into 4 portions and loosely pack into rounds.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet. Toast each english muffin half, nooks and crannies down, in the butter. You may need to do this in batches. Top each toasted english muffin with marinara, mozzarella and mini pepperonis. Melt the cheese by broiling or use a splash of water and the lid to steam them in hot skillet. Remove the english muffin pizzas and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to high heat and add the turkey rounds. Use a spatula or mallet to press the rounds as thin as possible. Cook for about a minute per side.
  • Build the sandwiches by topping one english muffin bottom with a few fresh basil leaves, a turkey patty and top with another english muffin pizza.
