Instructions
TACO SEASONING RECIPE
- Combine all ingredients, store in an airtight container.
HOMEMADE ENCHILADA SAUCE
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir flour and chili powder into the oil; cook and stir until smooth. Gradually stir tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar into the flour mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
PICO DE GALLO RECIPE
- Dice onion, tomato, and jalapeno. I like to remove the seeds from the jalapeno and the seeds and pulp from the tomato. Stir onion, tomato, jalapeno, and cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice over top and salt to taste. Stir. Store in refrigerator.
BURGERS
- Prepare grill or skillet.
- Using clean hands, blend together the ground beef and 2 teaspoons taco seasoning. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into 1/2 inch patties.
- Grill the burger patties over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium. Top each burger with one slice of cheese. Turn off the heat and close the grill. Allow the cheese to melt, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Stovetop instructions - Add a thin layer of oil to the pan and add your burger patties making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear until cooked through (about 4 minutes on each side). Top each burger with one slice of cheese and allow it to melt.
BUILD YOUR BURGER
- You can build your burger any way you want. As you can see in the photos, I topped the bottom bun with lettuce, then the burger with melted cheese. On top of the burger I added sauce, pico, avocado slices, more cilantro, and replaced the top bun.
