spicy california skirt

Ingredients

• ½ avocado, mashed
• 1 tablespoon diced white or yellow onion
• ¼ teaspoon cumin
• 1 clove minced garlic
• Juice of ½ lime
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons Kewpie mayo
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 small jalapeno diced (or ½ large one) sliced
• 1 Holland pepper, sliced
• 2 tablespoons sliced white or yellow onion
• Brioche bun, toasted
• Oil
• Two 4 ounce balls of ground beef, if possible equal parts chuck,short rib and brisket, trust me
• 1 slice American cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Combine guacamole ingredients in a small bowl, mix well to combine - set aside
• Combine aioli ingredients in a small bowl, mix well to combine - set aside
• Heat flattop or pan, add a small amount of oil and the peppers and onions - cook until softened and beginning to brown - set aside
• Add a little more oil, and the ground beef, flatten then season with salt & pepper
• When the first side is done, flip over and add the slice of American to one of them
• Then put the shredded cheese on the flattop in a circle about an inch wider than the patties, put an ice cube or 2 beside the cheese, the cap with a pot lid
• Let the cheese skirt go about a minute, remove the lid and using a thin spatula, start slowly pushing under and lifting (watch the video)
• Now you can build: bottom bun, aioli, guacamole, cheese skirt, patty without cheese, patty with cheese, veggies, top bun.
• Done!
