    A few notes about this lovely meal.

    • These were SO GOOD, but they were super crumbly…from the beans…so I would add an egg to hold the burgers together.
    • The cilantro and lettuce are from the garden.
    • The bread…because I had no buns in the house. And ran out of time to make them from scratch.
    • The salsa is homemade from last year’s garden. (Canned, of course.)
    • The salad dressing is homemade Cilantro Lime Dressing – 1/4 cup canola oil, 3 Tbsp lime juice, 1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Used a few spoonfuls.
    • The boys ate these with ketchup, not salsa. They eat ketchup with just about everything.  If this continues on into adulthood, they might need to attend a Ketchups Anonymous meeting.

    And now I leave you with the burger recipe.  Including the egg that I did not use, but the recipe needs.

      Sounds yummy. We made Taco Burgers last month and they were so good! I’m planning on making burgers every weekend this month. Summer Burger Bash!

      These sound delicious, I’ve made taco pizza before but not taco burgers, I think these will go on my menu for this week 😉

      Great idea for a different spin on burgers! Thanks for another idea on how to use my cilantro also!

      I used to make taco burgers often, my family loves them. I have not used beans in them but think I will try it this way, anything to add more healthy ingredients is a plus!

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
