I've made this entire menu a few times, and we love it! I usually make anywhere from 6 to 8 burgers with it. Since it's just my husband and me, I freeze the extra. Then I get to listen to my husband ask several times a week, "When can we have the Burrito Burgers again?" Moist, easy and delicious! I do mash up the beans a bit so they blend in more easily.
To those who called it bland, did you maybe substitute pepper for the grill seasoning? Remember, grill seasoning has the salt, so if you used pepper, you'll need to add extra salt-- to taste.

We're not fans of ground turkey, but since there were plenty of spices, we did not miss the ground beef. I made a few modifications, but used the spices as listed. I was filling lazy and decided not to form these into patties, and just browned the turkey with the spices and added the beans to the skillet. I skipped the rice because we didn't have any on hand. After it was cooked, I spread the guacamole (made as directed, except omitted the sour cream to reduce the fat and calories on a tortilla and sprinkled it with the cooked turkey and bean mixture. I topped our burritos with a little reduced fat cheese and cilantro. Yummy; will make again.

These are excellent! Easy, quick, and very affordable. My husband enjoyed these a great deal and he is NOT a burger fan. I'm a huge fan so I am tickled to have found these. Thanks, Rachel!
