So easy and tasty. I made the patties ahead and froze them, so made for a really easy week night meal. I formed the patties into long ovals, making it easier to wrap in a tortilla. We found the portions quite generous - only used 1/2 patty each. Thanks for sharing.

A burger with all the flavors of a taco yum! Very flavorful and the mixing of the onion, red pepper and cheese into the meat pre-cooking is a nice touch. The only change was to use corn tortillas instead of flour. Thanks so much for the post.

Burgers are ever popular in my house..so little danger of us not liking this. I used chicken mince, and used a mixture of red and yellow peppers. I had intended to cook these outside on my beautiful Weber Q barbecue, but it decided to pour all day long (typical..the only day this week..), but I ended up cooking these in the oven instead. They cooked up beautifully, moist, tender and juicy. DH had his in a quartered tortilla, I folded a big iceberg lettuce leaf around mine and ate it that way-delicious!! Made for 123 Hits.

What a neat new way to have hamburgers! We loved these! I used 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground turkey to make the patties. As it is still cold out, I broiled the patties instead of using the grill, but otherwise made as directed. I also used whole wheat tortillas and fat free sour cream. Delicious idea for a week-night supper! Thanks for sharing!
