• For the burger: Mix the chorizo and Italian sausage together in a bowl. Make 4 equal-size portions and flatten to about 4 inches in diameter.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and 1/4 cup of water, cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until the water is evaporated. Sear uncovered until slightly crispy for about 2 minutes, then remove to rest.
• Butter and toast the rolls.
