Taco Burgers

I'm excited to announce I grilled today without catching anything on fire! It was even a charcoal grill. Everyone at work pitched in and bought a case of hamburgers. Once a week Tony grills some for lunch. Today he had to leave while he was cooking the burgers and I was the last resort to man the grill. I saw fear in his eyes as he left me with the tongs in hand... he has heard about the outcome of my last grilling experience. Those burgers weren't bad at all. Speaking of burgers... last week when I spotted these taco burgers on Coleen's Recipes I knew I would be making them very soon. We have to have our taco fix! These burgers were great. They're a nice change from your regular burger or taco. Brad grilled these burgers though... I guess he doesn't quite trust me with his grill yet :)

Congrats on not catching anything on fire! That's a great accomplishment. :-)

These burgers sound like they would be so good! I love taco-flavored anything, and I love burgers. I especially like the idea of using corn chips in the meat, I bet that added a great texture.

Those did look really good on Colleen's blog. I like the idea of using corn chips in the hamburger too.

Glad your grilling endeavor was successful. I grill on our gas grill sometimes, but my husband does the charcoal one. I don't even know how to light it!

My family would love this. They always need a weekly taco fix too. This would be a fun change.
What a tasty burger twist! I will be trying this soon!
