When I first started blogging, I didn’t have any kids. And now I have 3. So my kids have grown up only knowing their mom as a blogger. They know that mom is always taking pictures of the food before we eat, and that they will rarely get the same dinner twice.

But one thing I am loving is that my kids are growing up seeing my passion – my love of cooking. When I first had Abbi, I could imagine cooking with her and teaching her and sharing that love of cooking with her. And now that she is getting older, I’m so happy that she shows so much interest in being in the kitchen with me.

I try to let her get into the kitchen with me a couple times a week to make dinner. Not only is it a great way to teach her skills that she will need her whole life, but when kids are involved in picking out food and helping to prepare it, they are more likely to eat it. Anything that will help my kids to eat is something that I will be doing!!

Well, Abbi loves taco night, and she loves cheeseburgers, so we got together one night and decided to cook dinner together, combining both of those loves. Abbi was able to do a lot of the prep work herself, which made her pretty happy. And you should have seen how proud she was when her dad got home and she told him that she made dinner!!

Ingredients

Ground Beef: I like to use a fairly lean ground beef, but nothing too lean or you won’t have as much flavor.
Taco Seasoning: You want one package of taco seasoning, or about 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning.
Cheese: We use sliced cheddar, but for a real American twist you can use American cheese.
Avocado: This is for the guacamole – make sure your avocado is ripe.
Green Onion: We like the mild flavor of the green onion, but you could use diced yellow or red onion, as well.
Cilantro: This adds tons of flavor, but feel free to leave it out if you aren’t a fan.
Lime: Use real, fresh lime juice.
Salt: Salt is really important for the guacamole. Season to taste.
Tortillas: You’ll want to use soft taco sized tortillas. Heat them up to make them more pliable before filling.
Toppings: We like to top these with lettuce, onion, and tomatoes. Some salsa would be fun, though, because of the Tex-Mex twist.

How to Make Cheeseburger Tacos

PATTIES: Make the patties by combining the ground beef with the taco seasoning and forming it into 8 thin oval sized patties. Cook on a grill, grill pan, or even a skillet. Top with cheese once you have flipped the patties to give the cheese time to melt.

GUACAMOLE: Make the guacamole by mashing the avocado, then stirring in the green onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt.

ASSEMBLE: Place one patty in each tortilla and top with guacamole. Add your desired toppings and serve!
