Notes
- Swap the ground beef for ground chicken or ground turkey meat. Season the meat with any favorite spices like garlic powder, onion powder, montreal seasoning. Instead of making them Big Mac style, swap the thousand island dressing for ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc. Use any favorite burger toppings like sautéed mushrooms and onions, diced tomatoes, avocado, diced jalapeños. Use any kind of cheese. Cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, Monterey jack, Pepper jack are all wonderful too. Use low carb tortillas if you'd like.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container without the toppings. Freeze for up to 2 months in a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat in a warm skillet until heated through. Reheat in a skillet until heated through for best crispy results. You can also reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
