My daughter is a very picky eater, but she loves these.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
These taco spinach burgers are a fun take on traditional burgers. They're filled with taco seasoning and have great flavor. The seasonings tenderize the meat and make the burgers juicy. The homemade picante sauce has a good amount of heat and is deliciously served warm over the burger. A lttle messy to eat, they're a tasty twist on burger night.
