  2. Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 1/4 pound each.
  3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness.
  4. While the patties cook, lightly toast 6 hamburger buns.
  5. Serve the cooked patties open-faced on the toasted buns. Top generously with your favorite taco toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
