Taco burgers are one of my favourite burgers and I since I’ve made them a few times this summer I thought that I would take the opportunity to update the recipe! The basic idea behind taco burgers is burgers with all of the flavours from taco night tacos! This means starting off with some taco seasoned beef patties and loading the burgers up with your favourite taco filling like lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado/ guacamole, salsa, etc! As far as the patties go, I like to do them in a number of different ways, with the easy way being to simply mix homemade taco seasoning into ground beef and sometimes I mix in other taco flavours like cheese, salsa, cilantro, etc. One of the beautiful things about taco burgers is that you can make the as you like! No matter how you decide to make your taco burgers, they are quick, easy, tasty and family friendly!

Hi Kevin!
Why have I never thought of making a taco burger?? That sounds so great!!
I make taco's all the time, and burgers for that matter. I think my family would love this "merger" of ingredients!
Thanks for posting, and I am totally starving now! :0)
Holy smokes! That's a tall burger and it's topless too! Looks delicious!
What a great idea..how come I didnt think of that!!LOL..Everything you make looks delicious.Figtreeapps
What a great idea, I am making that for my in laws on Friday!
Oooh, just saw a taco pizza last night. All these taco foods are making us hungry.
Mmm…tacos! My son would love that.
Another new creations, that looks so delicious!
I'm loving all of these taco-flavored foods. Especially the burgers with the guacamole/mayo!
The downside to being a food blogger is that as you travel from post to post, your brain gasps each time and asks the stomach 'You sure you aren't hungry? You must be. Right? Come on.." and so on. This burger has started an internal debate. Oh boy!
WHOA…this sounds so so good. I will surely give this one a try.
This is my first time over..I love cooking blogs and discovered your's on another blog.
I am signing up to follow you and I sure will be back.
Love it, I could go for one right now. You are so inventive and if you use that much cheese you are alright in my book.
I love how you take one thing and then go in every possible direction with it!
What a great idea to make this favorite dish into a burger!
This looks amazing.
Just made burgers yesterday…too bad I didn't see this first! Between this taco burger and White on Rice Couple's Umami burger I have my next burger-making days all sewn up! 🙂
The melted cheese is killing me!
That sounds like a great burger, Kevin. The flavors go perfect together.
what a great idea!
I like this idea. Nice way to wake up a bland burger.
I am in heaven!!!!!!!
Hi there Kevin! Totally LOVE your various burger recipes! I hope you don't mind but I've placed a link to your blog over at my Tumblelog at http://justburgers.tumblr.com/
You have a truly great blog and love your dedication to food / cuisine and thanks for sharing!
wow sounds delish! i just made taco soup the other night using taco seasoning and canned chipotle peppers for extra smokey flavor. i look forward to trying your burger 🙂
you are a damn genuis! I heart you. In a completely non-creepy kind of way.
I’ve pan fried, grilled and baked ground beef a thousand times and never knew to make an indention in the top of the burger to prevent bulging. I most definitely will try this little trick on my next burgers, especially your “Taco Burgers.” Cheers to you. Keep these tasty recipes coming!!!
Love anything Taco flavor, thanks for as neat recipe
