Cooking

Fry 4 slices smoked ham on both sides in a frying pan on high heat.

Transfer to a plate.

Stage 9 - 5 min.
Chicano burger
Pour 2 tablespoons oil into the same pan, and when really hot, cook the beef patties to your preferred level.

Set aside to keep hot.

Stage 10 - 8 min.
Chicano burger
Still using the same pan, lightly fry the bean patties on both sides.

Take care, as these are tricky to handle and turn over. Use a fish slice or broad spatula if possible.

Leave to wait in the pan, off the heat.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Stage 15 - 4 min.
Chicano burger
Sit the red bean patty on top with a slice of fried ham.

Stage 16 - 4 min.
Chicano burger
Add a couple of lettuce leaves and the top of the bun, with a second dash of mustard if you like.

Should be eaten right away.
Remarks
There are lots of ways to vary this basic idea, still in keeping with the Mexican spirit: bacon instead of ham, a different cheese, a dash of Tabasco or lime juice on the bean patty, add a little avocado, etc. Just let your imagination and preferences guide you.

If you are fortunate enough to be in Brest, France, trot along to the remarkable "Pen ar bread" bakery in Guipavas, run by Sébastien and Audrey. I recommend it wholeheartedly (Brittany's best bakery in 2019). Here you'll find a whole range of delicious burger buns, like the ones shown in the photos. The owner is a really nice guy and a fount of knowledge about the science of baking, and happy to talk about it.
And to drink?
Keeping: Should be eaten immediately.
