Get your grill on with these taco inspired hamburgers.

So, have you all realized how obsessed I am with taco flavors lately? First, there was pizza. Then there were hot dogs.
And now – Burgers.
And in case you are wondering, yes, we do still have just regular old tacos! 🙂
It’s funny to think that just a few years ago, I was terrified of making burgers. They were one of those things that were just intimidating to me. But now, I can’t seem to make them often enough. And I do have to say – I’ve gotten pretty good at cooking them in the past few years, too. They are really not as difficult as I used to think they were!
This burger here – well, it’s got to be at the top of my current favorite burgers list. Not only does it have Old El Paso taco seasoning in the burger, but it also has crushed up corn chips. That is my secret ingredient that really brings in that taco flavor and sets these apart from so many other burgers.
If you are craving a little bit of that Tex-Mex flavor, these burgers are your answer!
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 package (1 oz) mild Ol El Paso taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated onion
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 cup crushed corn chips
- 4 slices cheddar jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa, for topping
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef, taco seasoning, grated onion and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the crushed tortilla chips and lightly combine. Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
- Place the patties on the grill over medium heat. Close grill and cook, turning once, until desired doneness – about 10 minutes for medium. Top each patty with the cheese and cook just until the cheese melts.
- Layer the buns with sour cream, a patty, lettuce, tomato and salsa.

It’s like you made this burger just for me!
I’m such a Mexican flavor freak. Love this!
Corn chips in the burger = pure genius!! These look ridiculous good!
I LOVE these and the fact that you actually put tortilla chips in the burgers. Holy yuM!
all of that juicy goodness needs to be on my plate tonight!
Well it’s settled — I need this burger in my life, STAT.
I love a good taco in any form- I usually stick to good ‘ol tacos but you have so many ideas, I think I need to switch things up a bit!
Such a fun idea, Deborah! I love these flavors for a burger!
What a clever and fun burger Deborah. I love your creativity. You have such a knack for taking great flavor combos and reinventing new meals. 🙂
Looks straight out of a magazine!
Dear lord, just look at that sexy burger! Absolutely mouthwatering!
Yesssss! Love me some taco burger! Gorgeous, Deborah!
This burger is my favorite taco creation, yet!! Need to try this!
Yum! Hear Hear for Mexican Food!
You have to have some of the most mouthwatering dishes ever. Every time I look at one of your posts, I get hungry. I so want a burger now! These are just irresistible.
Woman, we were meant to be friends.
Tacos are my favorite and turning them into burgers? Brilliant!
I need to incorporate these flavors into a veggie burger! So much BIG taste in each bite.
This burger is beyond amazing! Just added it to next week’s dinner menu. That is if I can wait that long to sink my teeth into this delicious looking burger!
Perfect flavors for a burger! Love it!
What a fun way to change up a burger.
It is almost lunch time and now I am really hungry looking at this burger. Great idea for seasoning!
I am all about taco inspired everything right now – these burgers are fantastic!
Oh goodness, this is absolutely incredible. I must have this
One of my favorite burger/mexican fusions is to put the usual cheeseburger ingredients in a flour tortilla instead of a hamburger bun. The meat patty has to be reshaped into a log shape but that’s no biggie and it allows you to experiment with new ingredients.
Oh my gosh does this ever look amazing! I love a good burger and one with a mexican twist sounds perfect!!!
Perfection! I was the queen of the grill this summer! We had burgers about once a week because I’m obsessed 🙂 These sound incredible!
Made these the other day. The crushed chips made for an interesting texture….really liked that addition. I think I may cut down on the amount of taco seasoning just a bit. It wasn’t too spicy, just kind of in your face. I’ll be making these again…they were delicious.
