Ingredients 

• 4 large eggs
• 4 burger buns
• ½ pound chorizo
• ¼ cup of olive oil
• Hot sauce, to taste
• ¼ cup of mayonnaise
• 8 pieces thick-cut bacon
• 1 pound of ground chuck
• 1 large tomato, sliced thin
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• ¼ cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Green leaf lettuce leaves separated
• 1 cup grated Monterrey jack cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• One 32-ounce bag of frozen potato tots (5 cups)
• One 4-ounce can dice green chiles (not drained)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees ∞F.
• Put the bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil. Bake until crispy, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix mayo with chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
• For the patties, mix the ground beef, Mexican chorizo, green chiles, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a large bowl until well combined. 
• Pinch off a fourth of the meat mixture, forming it into a disc. Repeat with the remaining meat to make 3 more discs. 
• Put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the preheated skillet, then add the patties. 
• Using the bottom of the spatula, smash the patties until they are about ½ inch thick. Fry until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
• Heat the remaining olive oil and the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook sunny-side up, for 5 to 6 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. 
• Remove the eggs with a slotted spatula to drain or remove the eggs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Spread the bottom of each bun with cilantro mayo and place on plates or a serving dish.
• Add each patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and an egg. 
• Drizzle with some hot sauce. Spread the remaining cilantro mayo on the bun lids, then place them carefully on top of the burgers.

Taco Tots

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
• Toss potato tots and taco seasoning on a sheet pan. Bake until crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle cheese, and return to the oven to melt the cheese, for 5 minutes more.
