1
Spray the grill with cooking spray, then preheat to medium-high.
2
Place the ground beef and chorizo in a large bowl. Add the taco seasoning and mix with your hands until just evenly combined.
3
Divide the meat into 6 equal balls.
4
Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the middle of each ball.
5
Use your hands to encase the meat around the cheese. Pat until you have covered the cheese completely and have formed a burger patty.
6
Place the patties on the grill, close the grill, and cook undisturbed (do not press down on the patties) until grill marks appear on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the patties, close the grill again, and cook until grill marks appear on the second side and the patties are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more. During the last minute of grilling add a slice of pepper jack cheese to each patty.
7
Place a patty on each bun bottom, top with bacon and jalapenos. Add top bun and serve immediately.

This Juicy Lucy takes cheese-stuffed burgers to an incredible new level.It's the height of grilling season (not to mention the 4th of July!), so right about now we're all in search of a dang good burger recipe.A good ol' cheeseburger can get a little boring, and this is where these Mexican Juicy Lucy Burgers come into play. Typically, Juicy Lucy burgers are stuffed with American cheese and that's the end of the story.But I really wanted to amp up the flavors and create a killer summer burger that is so good it should be made all year.So I swapped out the American for sharp cheddar, then added some chorizo into the beef, along with a little Old El Paso Taco seasoning, and a little bacon on top too ... you know, for good measure.Don't worry if you don't have a grill, the burgers can be seared in a skillet on the stove.Just wait till you get to the middle...Ooey, gooey cheese heaven!
