Mix 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack or cotija cheese into the chorizo mixture before forming the patties.
Add 1 finely minced jalapeño or serrano pepper (with or without seeds) to the mixture for an extra kick of heat.
Instead of patties, roll the mixture into small meatballs. Pan-fry until browned and cooked through, then serve as an appetizer or with pasta.
Substitute cilantro with fresh oregano or parsley for a slightly different flavor profile.
