Pickled Red Onions & Jalapenos:
Heat up a skillet to medium high heat. Add your white vinegar, water, white sugar and kosher salt to the skillet. Let simmer until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Pull off once done.

Choripan:
Add all the ingredients for the chimichurri to a bowl and mix together. Set to the side.
Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 325F)
Add the sausage to slowly cook on the grill until charred and clear liquid is coming out (about 165F internal). Once done, pull off and let cool.
Add a skillet to the grill along with all of the sliced cheese and let fully melt.
Toast up your burger buns and then add a layer of mayonnaise to them. Top each with a sausage spiral and then add a heaping amount of melted cheese. Finish with chimichurri and pickled red onions and jalapenos. Serve and enjoy
