Wash and dry all produce. Cut @dried chorizo{3%ounce} into very small cubes (about ¼ inch).

Place the chorizo and @ground beef{20%ounce} in a #large bowl{}. Blend together evenly with your hands, then shape into two round patties, each between ⅓ and ½ inch thick, or a little wider than the buns. Season all over with plenty of @salt{} and @black pepper{}.

Heat a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{4%teaspoon} in a #medium pan{} over medium-high heat. Once hot, add patties. Cook until browned on outside and just at desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. Sprinkle each patty with @monterey Jack cheese{1/2%cup}, turn off heat, and cover pan with a lid or foil. Let cheese melt, about ~{2%minutes}. Remove from pan; set aside.

In a #small bowl{}, stir together @mayonnaise{4%tablespoon}, @smoked paprika{1%teaspoon}, and @sherry vinegar{1%teaspoon} (save the rest for the next step). Season with salt and pepper.

In a #large bowl{}, whisk together the remaining vinegar, a large drizzle of @olive oil{4%teaspoon}, and @sugar{1/2%teaspoon}, making sure to dissolve sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

Split @brioche buns{4%unit} in half. (TIP: If you have an extra moment, toast them in a toaster or toaster oven.) Spread the aioli over cut sides. Fill with the patties. Place @mixed greens{4%ounces} in a bowl with the dressing and toss to lightly coat. Divide burgers and salad between plates, adding a little extra salad to the burgers if you like.
