Taco Burgers

I've got a question for you. What do you do when you're craving a taco and hamburger at the same time?? Seems like a tough dilemma, huh? Well this happened to me today, so I decided to combine the two and make Taco Hamburgers! Since I was only cooking for myself, I only made two burgers (gotta have one leftover for later, right!?). The seasoning I mixed up makes about an 1/8 of a cup, and I used about a half of a tablespoon for each burger and used the rest for my black beans but you should have enough for 4 burgers. If not, it's super easy to double.

Taco Burgers

Makes 2 burgers, but easily doubled

For the seasoning:

1 + 1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground black pepper

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/4 tsp. chili powder

For the burgers:

1/2 lb. ground round

~1 Tbsp. of the seasoning

Hamburger buns of your choice (I used whole-wheat)

Toppings:

I used pepper-jack cheese with jalapenos and some salsa, but just go crazy with it! Here are some other ideas: sour cream, avacado (Britt's suggestion), guacamole, and lettuce.

Light up the grill. Mix the seasoning ingredients in small bowl. Shape the ground round into 2 hamburger patties, and use about 1/2 tablespoon of the taco seasoning per hamburger patty. Grill until the inside temperature reaches 160 degrees and juices run out clear. Top with whatever your heart desires, then eat up!
