Taco Burger Tips:
- Meat Thermometer – Use an instant read meat thermometer to check internal temperature. Make sure that the beef is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.
- Mixing Ingredients – Be careful not to over-mix the beef or the burgers will be tough. Just mix with your hands until just combined in a medium bowl.
- Change Seasoning – Fee free to change the seasoning. Mix in garlic powder or chili powder.
- Hamburger Patty – We like to make the hamburger patties about the same size. I usually make them about 1 inch thick so they cook evenly and about the same time.
Topping Ideas:
The toppings are endless when making your Taco Burger. These are some of our favorites.
- Cheese – We used cheddar cheese, but you can easily use different flavors. We recommend pepper jack cheese or Colby Monterrey Jack Cheese.
- Sour Cream – This creamy topping is perfect topped on the Taco Burger.
- Guacamole – Make a delicious homemade guacamole or use store bought for a tasty topping.
- Pico de Gallo – Diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro makes this a delicious topping for the taco burgers.
- Diced Avocado – We love the healthy benefits of avocado. Instead of making guacamole, top with diced avocado.
