Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Add garlic, jalapeños, and onions. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until soft.2 teaspoons minced garlic, 3 Tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper, 3 Tablespoons diced onion
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, taco seasoning mix, and vegetable mixture from the skillet.1 pound ground beef, 1 packet taco seasoning
- Use gloved hands to combine the mixture well and form into patties.TIP - Use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each patty to keep the meat from rising up in the center.
- Fry burgers over medium-high heat in skillet until desired doneness (we like ours medium, about 140 F).
Notes
- Please note that the photos show 2 half pound burgers. However, the nutritional information is based on 4 quarter pound burgers.
- I like using 85/15 ground beef for our burgers, but 80/20 is also excellent. Both of which will yield juicier, more flavorful patties.
- Homemade taco seasoning mix is always our go-to, we used 1 recipe worth when making these burgers.
