Taco Burgers

I have one kid who loves all burgers but no tacos. I have one who loves tacos above all things. Tonight I am going to make them both happy.

Start with a pound of ground beef, add an egg, about 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 t pepper, 1 t each ground cumin and chili powder ( or 2 t taco seasoning mix). I also like to add a little liquid, milk, broth, sometimes even beer, no more than a 1/2 cup. Patty out and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Grill and serve with taco toppings. These are a hit here every time.

Here's a hint a found in a cookbook for perfect burgers. When you patty them out, use your thumb to dent about 1/4 inch into the center of the burger, on both sides. This will even out as they grill, making flat, pretty hamburgers.
