Here is a fun way to mix up regular old burgers. Why not give them a taco twist? It is also a great way to use up those smashed tortilla crumbs left in an almost empty bag of tortilla chips. The crushed chips is mixed in the meat and and topped on the burger at the end for added texture and crunch!
