Instructions
Prepare the Salsa and Mayo
- 1In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced avocado, finely diced red onion, chopped coriander, lime juice, and optional finely chopped jalapeno. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocado too much. Set aside.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha until well combined. Adjust sriracha to your preferred level of heat. Set aside.
Cook the Chorizo
- 1Preheat your barbecue grill or a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the chorizo sausages with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- 2Place the chorizo sausages on the hot grill or in the pan. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
- 3While the sausages are cooking, lightly toast the sliced crusty rolls on the grill or in the pan until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Assemble the Sizzles
- 1Place a cooked chorizo sausage into each toasted roll.
- 2Generously top each sausage with the prepared avocado salsa.
- 3Drizzle with the sriracha mayo.

Tips
- For extra texture, add some crispy fried onions or a sprinkle of your favourite chilli flakes on top.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, add it to the salsa ingredients just before you are ready to assemble the sizzles.
- If using a frying pan, you might want to drain off excess fat from the chorizo between batches to prevent flare-ups.
