Cinco de Mayo Taco Burger

 What exactly happens when the ultimate taco and tequila holiday collides with National Burger Month? This recipe!

 

tortilla burger buns

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

2/3 cup milk

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

 

taco burger patties

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup black beans

3 Tbsp taco seasoning

1 avocado

4 slices of cheddar cheese

4 Tbsp Mayo

1 tsp taco sauce

 

To make the Tortillas

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and oil.

While stirring, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry. It should form a shaggy dough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, re-flouring as needed.

Divide the dough into 8 parts once it is smooth and no longer sticky.

Form the small pieces of dough into balls and wrap them in plastic wrap. Allow 30 minutes for rest.

Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 4-inch round. It should be about a quarter-inch thick. Cooking for 1 minute per side in a dry skillet or griddle until small brown spots appear.

Continue with the remaining dough balls.

 

Regarding the Assembly and Burgers

In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef, beans, and taco seasoning.

Make four patties, each with a dimple in the center.

Grill to your liking, adding cheese when almost done.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and taco sauce.

Place burgers on tortillas and top with avocado and taco/mayo sauce.
