Easy Cheeseburger Tacos

"My 7-year-old daughter requested cheeseburger tacos for dinner one night, so I created this and all the kids loved it! The adults also raved after tweaking their tacos by adding onions, peppers, hot sauce, etc. to the meat mixture. Serve with hamburger toppings on the side. This is a very kid friendly recipe!"

Flavor stand-ins for the garlic

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (beef, pepper, ketchup, flour, cheese, cream):

  1. Celerybetter flavor fit
  2. Nutmegbetter flavor fit
  3. Tarragonabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Garlicthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against beef, pepper, ketchup, flour, cheese, cream. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
