Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 20 min
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 lb ground chuck; 1 packet taco seasoning; ¼ cup sour cream; 12 tbsp lime juice; taco sauce; ½ cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese; 2 tbsp diced onions; 2 tbsp diced tomato; 1 cup shredded lettuce; jalapeno slices; 1 hamburger bun

To get the taco seasoning flavor in the burger I had to double the amount you normally would use, so for every packet of taco seasoning only use 1/2 a pound of meat. You can buy the packets or use my blend of spices instead. To make it feel more tacoy I like to chop the toppings small like you would for a taco but you can also serve it the traditional sliced way if you prefer.

1 lb ground chuck

1 packet taco seasoning

¼ cup sour cream

12 tbsp lime juice

taco sauce

½ cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese

2 tbsp diced onions

2 tbsp diced tomato

1 cup shredded lettuce

jalapeno slices

1 hamburger bun

1

Mix taco packet into the ground beef until just combined. Do not over-mix. Flatten into a patty and store covered in refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.

2

Whisk together the lime juice and sour cream, set aside.

3

Remove patty from the refrigerator and preheat grill on high. When grill is hot add the patty, grilling on each side about 5 minutes for medium or until desired internal temperature is reached. I like mine medium so I take the patty off when the internal temperature reaches 130. The FDA recommends 160 but I find that dries it out to much. Add cheese to burger and grill one minute until the cheese starts to melt.

4

Place the burger on bun and spread the sour cream mixture on the top bun. Add the taco sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, and jalapenos. serve with refried beans and Spanish rice.
