How to Make Brazilian Burgers
- Prepare your grill: Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat or a gas grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Make the patties: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground pork and cornmeal with half of the marinade. Avoid overmixing to prevent compacting the meat.
- Form patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than your buns.
- Make the bean spread: In a small bowl, combine the drained pinto beans, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Coarsely mash the beans with a fork.
- Marinate the onions: In a separate small bowl, combine the sliced red onion with the remaining marinade.
- Prepare the peppers: Brush the pepper quarters with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Grill the patties: Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Adjust cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.
- Grill the peppers: Grill the peppers alongside the patties, turning frequently, until softened and slightly charred (4-5 minutes per side).
- Toast the buns: During the last few minutes of grilling, place the buns, cut-side down, on the outer edges of the grill to lightly toast them.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread the bean mixture on the bottom halves of the buns.
- Layer the ingredients: Top each bun with a patty, a quarter of each of the grilled red and green peppers, an orange slice, a portion of the marinated onions, and 1 teaspoon of extra cilantro.
- Serve: Add the top bun halves and serve immediately. Enjoy your award-winning Brazilian burgers!
