Ingredients

• ground beef - 200 grams
• chorizo sausage - 100 grams
• garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon

2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired doneness.
