Ingredients

  • neutral oil

    0.3 tbsp

  • medium yellow onion

    1 medium yellow onion, sliced

  • uncured bacon

    1 thick slice

  • ground beef

    106 g

  • pepper jack cheese

    2 slice

  • shells

    4 shells

  • mayonnaise

    1 tbsp

  • apricot jam

    1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and sauté for 20–25 minutes, until caramelized and golden brown.

  2. 2

    In a separate medium skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain, then cut each strip in half crosswise.

  3. 3

    Divide the ground beef into 8 2-ounce portions and roll into balls.

  4. 4

    Place a beef ball in a large skillet over medium heat, and smash down with a burger press or heatproof plate to about ¼-inch-thick (use a small square of parchment to keep the meat from sticking to the spatula, if desired). Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip, add a slice of cheese, and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Repeat with the remaining patties, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

  5. 5

    Slice the conchas in half horizontally and spread ½ tablespoon of mayonnaise on each cut side. Place cut-side down in a separate large skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 1 minute.

  6. 6

    To assemble, stack 2 patties on the bottom half of each concha, then top with caramelized onions, 2 half-slices of bacon, and 1 teaspoon of apricot jam. Finish with the top half of the conchas. Serve immediately.
