#1,831: Fajita Burgers

I didn't tell my family that these burgers were not our traditional turkey burgers.  They did notice they tasted a little different, but they all said they still like them (win for me!).  I loved these burgers.  They were so simple to make and as you can see from the photo above, I ate it in a lettuce wrap (unlike my family who ate it on traditional hamburger buns).

1 pound ground beef or turkey
2 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large pepper (any color(s)), julienned into matchsticks
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, optional
lettuce leaves

Optional toppings:
salsa
guacamole
chipotle mayo
chopped cilantro
dice tomatoes

Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Season each generously on both sides with the taco seasoning. Cook the burgers until desired doneness.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet until shimmering. Add the peppers and onions. Season them with oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Cook stirring, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.

Serve the burgers on buns (or on lettuce leaves), top with pepper mixture and desired toppings.
