Ingredients
¼ cup cream cheese spread, chives and onion flavored
⅓ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 lb ground beef, lean
1 pkg taco seasoning mix, 1 ¼ oz
4 hamburger buns, toasted
1 avocado, sliced
salsa sauce
Preparation
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and cheddar cheese until well combined.
In a separate bowl, throw in your ground beef and taco seasoning mix. Mix them well by hand.
Portion and shape the meat into four equal patties. Add 1 tablespoon of your cream cheese spread on top of two out of four patties. Top your patties with the cream cheese mixture with those without.
Wrap the meat around the spread and shape them into thick burger patties.
Using your thumb, make an indentation in the middle of your patties to keep their shape when frying.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Pan fry each side for 7 to 9 minutes or until meat reaches 160 degrees F internal temperature. Once one side of the patty is done, cook the other side, covered. Remember to avoid pressing down on the patty to keep its juices.
Place a patty on the toasted burger buns, top it with salsa and avocado slices and dig in!
