Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey and ground beef until well mixed. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into large patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Preheat an electric skillet over medium-high heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Cook the burger patties for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Adjust cooking time as needed based on desired doneness.
3
Once cooked, slice each burger patty in half to create 8 half-moon shapes. Place a slice of Monterey Jack pepper cheese on each half and cover to allow the cheese to melt while keeping the patties warm.
4
In the same skillet, spray with non-stick cooking spray again and lay each flour tortilla on the skillet one at a time. Warm each tortilla until soft and lightly golden, about 30 seconds on each side.
5
For assembling, place a cheesed burger half on the center of each tortilla, then add a generous spoonful of guacamole, a dollop of sour cream, and a scoop of fresh salsa. Make sure to do this while the cheese is still warm.
6
Carefully fold each tortilla around the fillings like a taco, securing it snugly. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy!
