Lazy, hot, monday Taco Burgers.



Still feeling too hot and lazy to cook for the most part, but we deliberated and decided to construct taco burgers. It didn't require an oven or the stove top, so it didn't heat up the Kitchen of Despair too much.

Taco Burgers - Easy

What We Used
(burger)
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • cumin
  • coriander
  • onion powder
  • paprika
  • basil
  • chili powder
  • breadcrumbs for consistancy
(toppings)
  • Iceburg Lettuce
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 2 med avacados
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Tortilla chips
  • cheddar cheese (grated)
  • sour cream

There was really no measurement for the spices in the burger... we just put them in until it smelled right. We mixed all of the burger ingredients together then formed the mix into patties. The mix turned a beautiful red color due to the chili powder and the paprika! Very lovely.

For the toppings, Sam made a pico de gallo out of the tomato, onion and pepper (she chopped these three ingredients into small pieces and mixed them together.)

Meanwhile, G (Sam's bro) made guacamole by smashing the avocados, the garlic, and some of the pilfered pico de gallo together.

The burgers were constructed with the shredded iceburg lettuce, burger patty (grilled on Sam's indoor grill) the grated cheese, guac (or just the pico de gallo if they didn't like avacado) tortilla chips and sour cream on homemade hamburger buns that Sam tried her hand at making.


These were seriously some of the best burgers I have EVER had the pleasure of eating! YUM!
