This is a great twist on the hamburger that everyone is sure to love! It's a combination of southwest and the classic American hamburger. I have three kids who all eat very differently from one another and this was a hit for them as well as hubby! I like to serve these with either sweet potato fries or green bean fries!

Southwest Sauce:

Directions

  • Mix sour cream, ranch dressing, and taco sauce together in a bowl until Southwest sauce is smooth. Cover bowl and refrigerate for flavors to blend.

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  • Cook hamburger patties in the preheated grill for 5 minutes, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce. Flip patties. Arrange tortillas on the grill and lower heat to medium-low under tortillas. Add Cheddar cheese and Colby-Jack cheese to tortillas; cook until cheeses melt, 2 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking hamburger patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  • Spread Southwest sauce onto 1/2 of the tortillas; top with lettuce and picante sauce. Place 1 hamburger patty on top of picante sauce layer and top patty with a tortilla, creating a sandwich.

Cook's Note:

The Southwest sauce makes an excellent salad dressing too!

Love the flavor of this recipe. The only advice I would give is to get the smallest tortillas you can find otherwise the burger gets kind of lost in it. I think we used 8 inch ones -- if I can't find smaller next time I will trim them down a little bit before using. Read More

Hubby loved this "Better than a big bun." I did the tortillas in a cast iron pan on the stove melted the cheese etc.... placed the hamburger patty on one quarter loaded it up and folded in fourths. It worked well. Thanks! Read More

Outstanding recipe. Thank you for sharing and for the helpful reviews. I made it indoors without a grill but otherwise as is. My sirloin burgers I rubbed with olive oil and sea salt & pepper. I cooked them in a skillet 5 mins each side. So juicy and delicious! The southwest ranch here is delicious. I heated my tortillas in another skillet as instructed. Put it all together and now the family wants to know when we re having them again! Read More

Love them at restaurants and loved them at home! Next time I think I ll try adding bacon and sautéed onions. I know it takes away from the Quesadilla idea but it sounds good. Read More

Overall good taste. Hubby ate all of his. Very messy. The tortillas don’t absorb the juices like a bun would. Very slippery. I’m sure the taste depends on what taco sauce you use, what picante sauce, etc. I flattened my burgers very thin. Used fajita size shells (6”) and still had to trim an inch off Read More

Loved the recipe. I learned something new with making that sauce. It was delicious! I used shredded Mexican cheese. Valentina hot sauce for My picante sauce. Burgers were premade. They were humongous. Read More
