grilled taco burgers

So I’m just not that into plain burgers these days.

After buying up all sorts of spices and making myself several cups of homemade taco seasoning, I figured the least I could do was use some to make taco burgers!  This is not an exact recipe…so I shall give you how much you should use per pound of meat.

Here’s one of my new favorite burgers…

    I don’t like “plain” burgers either, I keep dressing mine up differently. I have made these and I like to make seasoned sour cream with sour cream and salsa! Yum! Thanks!
