How to Make Mexican Grilled Hamburgers

  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 2 tbsp chopped chives.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a large, slightly thick patty. Add 2 tablespoons of your favorite salsa and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro to the center of each patty before shaping.
  3. Cut each patty in half to create 8 smaller burgers.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 6 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  5. Warm 8 flour tortillas on the grill for a minute per side, or until lightly browned.
  6. Place each burger patty in a tortilla. Top with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack work well).
  7. Fold the tortillas in half. Grill for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla has nice grill marks.
  8. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onion, and romaine lettuce. Add a dollop of ranch dressing.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mexican Grilled Hamburgers – they're best eaten like a taco!
