This cheeseburger tacos recipe appeared in the July 2019 Olive magazine...don't ask why it's taken 3 years to finally make it for the first time...the answer is: 'I don't know'!! It certainly won't be the last time...they're absolutely delicious. Homemade cheeseburger tacos, DIY burger sauce and pink pickled onions - AMAZING. Perfect summer food and great to make if you're entertaining. It's a quick and simple recipe to make in half an hour, and cook quickly, either on the barbecue or the hob if the weather's not being kind!
The burgers are moist and full of flavour, combined with tangy burger sauce and crunchy sweet pickled onions...and finished off with grated cheese...what's not to love!?!
