Taco Burger FAQ's

What is the best meat for making  a great Taco Burger?

These taco burgers are great using 85/20 ground beef. The perfect ratio for a great burger. Ground Turkey and chicken are also great options for these burgers.

Can these burgers be made ahead of time? 

For a great burger, my recommendation is to make these right when you want to enjoy a good juicy burger.  Reheating a burger can cause it to dry out and the flavors won’t be as delicious!

Can the taco burgers be frozen for a make ahead burger?

Absolutely! Form the burgers into patties! Use a Foodsaver or freezer bags. Place wax paper between each burger before freezing. Burgers can be stored 3-4 months in the freezer.

How do I store burger meat before cooking?

Keep beef wrapped well and refrigerated until ready to cook! I recommend using the USDA tips for burgers! Here's the link!

How long does it take to grill burgers?

  • Medium-rare: Grill the burger for three minutes then flip them over and grill another four minutes.
  • Medium: Grill the burger for three minutes then flip and grill another five minutes.
  • Medium well: Grill the burger for four minutes then flip and grill for another five minutes.
  • Well done: Grill the burger for four minutes then flip and grill for an another six minutes.

Notes

Note 1: my pico de gallo takes just a few minutes to make and my family will highly suggest you make it as a topping for a great taco burger.
Note 2: my Guacamole recipe is on its way! Another must have topping. A store bought guacamole is also fine as a topping! 
Note 3: Cabot Cheese is my personal favorite. The cheese melts perfectly on the burger.
Note 4: A personal choice on the brioche roll We just love the flavor with the taco burgers. Use your personal favorite bun!
Note 5: The nutritional value is strictly calculating the burger. Does not include the bun, pico, or guacamole. Those values will have to be added as you use them.
