Ingredients
 

  • 1 ½ lb ground beef
  • 2 Tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 4 slices pepper jack or cheddar cheese
  • 4 buns
  • Tortilla strips
  • Sour cream
  • Avocado slices
  • Pico de gallo (recipe below)
  • Pickled jalapenos
  • Lettuce

For the pico de gallo:

  • 1 lb. tomatoes (chopped)
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 jalapeno (diced)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
  • To make the pico, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir and season to taste. Allow to marinate while preparing the burgers.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and taco seasoning, using your fingers to gently distribute the seasoning throughout the meat.
  • Form the meat into 4 or 5 patties, depending on how big you like your burgers. Use your thumb to place an indent into the center of each one.
  • Grill for 5 minutes then flip and grill an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160 for well done. Melt the cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking time or add it directly after the burgers come off the grill.
  • Top the burgers with pico de gallo, sour cream, lettuce, avocado, jalapeno slices, and tortilla strips. Enjoy!
