Submitted by akrhillbilly
Seasoned beef patties simmer in tangy taco sauce then get topped with creamy avocado rings and melted cheddar cheese for a quick Mexican-inspired dinner that’s juicier than burgers and easier than tacos.

45 minThese saucy taco patties bring Tex-Mex flavor to the dinner table in under 45 minutes with minimal cleanup.
Ground beef mixes with onions and Worcestershire sauce, then forms into thick patties that brown beautifully before simmering in a spiced taco sauce that keeps them incredibly moist.
Fresh avocado slices crown each patty, then cheddar cheese melts over the top while the whole thing bubbles in the pan, creating a complete meal that needs only rice or beans on the side.
Pro Tips
- Don’t overwork the meat when shaping patties or they’ll be tough
- Turn each patty in the sauce to coat completely before simmering
- Substitute tomato slices for avocado if it’s not in season or too expensive
- Serve over rice, with tortillas, or alongside refried beans
- Top with sour cream, salsa, or chopped cilantro for extra flavor
