Tonight we had some really terrific taco burgers for dinner! I got the idea for these from Heidi's blog, Tried and True Cooking with Heidi. Heidi always has something good cooking in her kitchen. Her recipes are easy to follow and kid friendly. She makes some wonderful desserts as well!
I decided to turn my taco burgers into wraps. (You know me.)
For the burgers you'll need these ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup shredded jack and cheddar cheese mix
1 clove chopped garlic
1 tsp kosher salt
cracked pepper to taste

1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup shredded jack and cheddar cheese mix
1 clove chopped garlic
1 tsp kosher salt
cracked pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients well and shape into oblong patties. Place into the freezer until your grill is hot and ready. (A tip I learned from Heidi.)
Place patties on the grill and cook to desired temperature.
For garnish you will need shredded lettuce, slice tomato, chopped onion, and salsa.
I also whipped up a little zippy mayo for these burger wraps.
For this mayo I used:
1/2 cup light mayo
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 clove chopped garlic
juice from 1 small lime
1/2 cup light mayo
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 clove chopped garlic
juice from 1 small lime
Combine all ingredients into a small bowl and give it a good stir. Refrigerate while the burgers are cooking.
I place the patties on tortillas and topped with the mayo, salsa, lettuce, tomato and onion. Then I wrapped them up tightly and cut in half.
These were so fun and yummy with the chips inside and the mayo really added extra zippiness!
Please visit Heidi's blog for the original recipe! Thanks Heidi! :0)

I could go for a burger wrap right about now. More protein less carbs, but I love my carbs. LOL. oh well I can sacrifice the carbs for this one.
Mmm... great recipe and looks easy. I am with Jenn -- love the carbs, trying to resist eating ONLY bread. Doing the wrapping in crisp lettuce leaf thing. It's actually pretty good. Maybe not as good as tortilla...
I was just thinking that there's just not much to do with hamburger meat. Shoulda known you'd have something delicious to prove me wrong.
(so glad I found your blog!)
I love the wrap idea. These look great!
I saw these on Heidis site and thought they looked terrific! Love your adaptaion of putting them in a wrap. You are the wrap princess!
Oooooh! Those look REALLY good!! I love wraps, too, so I'm definitely going to have to try making those! :) Thanks for sharing! :)
Burger wrap. My stomach is growing for burger wrap!
These look amazing! I love different types of burgers and this looks right up my alley.
So glad you picked one of my recipes for your friday bloggy friend recipe day! I love the changes you made to it. It looks great!
What a cool idea, I know my family would love it.
Burger wraps are the best! So much more fun to eat than on hamburger buns. I also like burger pitas. Love these flavors in the burger.
i love that you turned it into a wrap, it sounds really tasty! this looks great!
This looks sooooo good! I will be trying it for sure.
We had your Pulled Pork sandwiches last night, Sweets! You have added a whole new dimension to our lives! FABULOUS! Thanks so much! Lori
I'll bet these were good. They look delicious.
Looks awesome! Pass me one please :)
I love turning things into wraps, too! And, I love all things "taco-y" :-)
These look so tasty...I think I'll try them next time burgers are on the menu! Thanks for another wrap idea!
That's one fine looking burger and I like your idea of using a wrap.

I thought these looked good on Heidi's blog. I love the idea of turning them into a wrap and really making them taco-like. I really like that "zippy" mayo too. I bet they were delicious!
Oh, I am loving this recipe!!! Looks delicious!
Very yummy. These remind me of something I saw on one of the Food Network URS contests.
Wow...these sound great! You know I love all of these flavors...and I love that you turned it into a wrap!
I actually love chips IN sandwiches - adds a little salty crunch. Those burgers look good and I love the idea of the zippy mayo!
OMG, those taco burgers look good. I keep forgetting to tell you how much I like your new header. Gorgeous photo!
YES, I'll just have to pop by Heidi's blog after this and see what else she's got - those burger wraps look awesome and totally something we'd eat around here! What a neat idea to try another blogger's food ideas and post it - I get soooo many recipes from blogs, my family loves it. I get a LOT from here!! Have you ever visited Mennonite Girls Can Cook? That's a good one too. Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm having my first giveaway and you're already entered once because you're a follower - yay. You take care and have a great weekend ~
I must have missed these on Heidi's blog...they look delicious!
These look delicious....a new idea!
