Ground Chicken Taco Burgers image

My husband and I are trying to add more variety to our diets, and cut back on red meat, so I came up with this ground chicken burger, and it is delish! I used my George Foreman grill to cook them. I served them with the spicy baked sweet potato fries found on this Website. They make a nice substitution for a regular cheeseburger and French fries.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground chicken
½ small onion, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ (1 ounce) package dry taco seasoning mix
1 egg
salt and pepper, to taste
4 wheat hamburger buns, toasted
4 slices pepperjack cheese
1 avocado - peeled, pitted and sliced
¼ cup chopped jalapeno pepper
½ cup salsa, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
  • Mix the ground chicken, onion, garlic, taco seasoning, and egg together in a bowl until thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide chicken mixture evenly and form into 4 soft patties.
  • Cook the chicken patties on the preheated grill until meat is no longer pink and juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. To serve, place each patty on one half of a hamburger bun, top with a slice of cheese, avocado slices, and desired amounts of jalapeno peppers and salsa. Cover with remaining half of bun.
