Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 piece avocado, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the meat.

Step 2

Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to coat the surface.

Step 4

Place the burger patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in another skillet or toaster until lightly golden.

Step 6

Assemble the taco burgers: Spread a dollop of sour cream on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty on top, then layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 7

Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy!
