Method:
- For the patties, combine the mince, chorizo, paprika and Cajun spice. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
- Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high and fry the patties for about 3–5 minutes, or until browned and cooked. Keep warm.
- For the burgers, roughly mash the avocados, lime juice and mayo. Season with salt and pepper. Blitz ¼ of the mixture with the garlic and 30 ml (2 tbsp) extra mayonnaise to form an Avo Aioli sauce. Fold the coriander and chilli through the remaining smashed avocado.
- Place the buns, cut side up, on a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Add the patties, topped with the cheese, to the tray.
- Place under a hot grill until toasted and heated through.
- Spread the Avo Aioli over the bun bases. Top with patties, smashed avocado, onion, and bun tops.
Load shedding tip: Place the patties in a greased, closed hinged grid and braai over hot coals. Toast the buns, cut sides down only, on the braai.
