Instructions

Step 1: For the pickled vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the vegetables and vinegar. Add warm water until vegetables are covered. Season with salt and pepper. Let vegetables sit for 20 minutes. Drain when done.

Step 2: Mix ingredients for aioli. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix ground beef, ground pork, garlic powder, and chili garlic sauce. Form into 8 patties. Press the centers of the patties down so that the burgers don't get too thick in the middle when you grill them. Season each side with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Preheat grill to medium/high heat.

Step 5: Grill patties until the internal temperature reaches 125 °F for rare, 135 °F for medium-rare, 145 °F for medium, and 160 °F for well-done. Flip patties halfway through cook time. In the last few minutes of cooking, add a slice of cheese to each patty and let it melt.

Step 6: Prepare toppings while burgers are grilling. Grill each bun until grill marks appear.

Assembly: Bottom bun, aioli, lettuce, patty, pickled vegetables, cucumber, jalapeño, cilantro, aioli on top bun.
