Grilled Three-Pork Burgers

These burgers, made with ground pork shoulder, chorizo and bacon, pack a lot of flavor. Letting the mixture rest in the refrigerator allows the seasonings to marry and develop. If fresh chorizo is unavailable, use a link of fresh, hot Italian sausage, increase the garlic to 4 cloves and double the quantity of smoked paprika.
