Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty, about ½ inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.
To assemble the taco burgers, spread a tablespoon of sour cream on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty on top, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and salsa.
If desired, add a few slices of jalapeños for heat. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on the burger.
Serve immediately with a side of tortilla chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
