The Taco Burger


When proposed with the challenge of what to make for dinner with ground beef, my family has their go to hamburgers or tacos. Well my dad and I decided to combine them. And it was pretty good!

Begin by seasoning the ground beef with chili powder, cumin, and oregano. We had 4 pounds of meat, so I used about 3 tablespoons chili powder, 4 tablespoons cumin, and about 2 tablespoons oregano. Once the spices and herbs are mixed in, form the patties.


Prepare the toppings: you will need guacamole, salsa, grated cheese (I used the Mexican blend), shredded lettuce, and sour cream. We had some refried beans in the refrigerator that I heated up as well.


Grill the burgers to your preference. Once the burgers are finished, assemble with the toppings of your choice. I did guacamole on the bottom, then hamburger patty, salsa, cheese, and shredded lettuce. I’m not big into sour cream but if you are, I would suggest putting it on the top of the bun.


They are different than the typical burger; obvious lacking ketchup, mustard, and pickles. But if you’re sick of making burgers and you’re sick of making tacos, make these taco burgers. It’ll be a nice change, I promise!
