Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix gently with your hands until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty, about ½ inch thick. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

To assemble the taco burgers, spread a tablespoon of sour cream on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty on top, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and salsa.

Step 7

If desired, add a few slices of jalapeños for heat. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on the burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of tortilla chips or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
