FAQ's
Can I add cheese?
Yes, if you want to add cheese, try adding an organic Mexican shredded cheese, like Organic Valley to the burgers right before they are done cooking. I’m a firm believer that classic tacos don’t have cheese, or need it, so I didn’t add. But we’ve made these multiple times since I shot these photos, and Delaney really likes adding this cheese!
Can I use ground turkey?
Yes! You can use ground turkey in these burgers and it’s just as delicious. I’ve made these both ways and they’re both really good. I do prefer the chicken, but if you have turkey in a pinch it’s just fine!
Can I use ground beef?
Yes, if you want to use ground beef for this recipe you can also do that! The Watkins 1868 Chili Lime Seasoning is also really good with beef!
Can I make these on the grill?
Absolutely, you can grill these or make them in a skillet. However, you want to cook them, they are delicious either way!
Why go organic?
You may be wondering why I push organic ingredients for everything, even savory and healthy dishes. Organic ingredients go beyond just health and wellness, and contribute so much to the taste and flavor of a recipe. So, if you think that you're making something healthy and buying fruits, veggies, or meats so maybe you don't need to spend the extra to go organic here – let me sway your thinking.
Organic ingredients are made in a more pure way, therefore using no additives, no GMOs, and minimal ingredients. This really allows the true ingredients to shine – and because of that their flavor shines through. Therefore, organic ingredients are more flavorful than their non organic counterparts. So, just because it's already a healthy recipe, or you're already buying good for you ingredients – it doesn't mean you can skip organic! Trust me here, and make the switch. Your body and your taste buds will thank you!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
