- Practice a lawful layer of paprika mayonnaise to all aspects of the buns, then put 2 thinly-sliced tomatoes and a chorizo patty on high. Sever the diminutive lengthwise and place of abode over them the patty. Shut it off with the high bun. I warn you, it’s going to be very messy and drippy… and overjoyed.
