Taco Burgers

These Taco Burgers are incredibly delicious and juicy. Homemade taco seasoning is combined with ground beef, formed into burgers and flame grilled, ready in 15 minutes.

They are topped with melty cheddar cheese and all your favorite taco toppings. I highly recommend adding the yellow corn tortilla chips to the burger to give you that perfect taco crunch!

This super easy recipe for two makes a great lunch, supper, or impressive date night dinner.
