Give your chicken burgers a creative twist by pairing them with smokey Mexican beef wedges , which bring a hearty, spiced flavor that complements the sweet and spicy notes of the patties. Add a side of creamy slow cooker mashed potatoes , offering a rich, comforting base that balances the tangy sour cream and chilli drizzle.

Tips For Making Chicken Burgers

  • Keep patties juicy by not overmixing the chicken and resisting the urge to press them down while cooking—your future self (and taste buds) will thank you.
  • Layer flavors by sneaking a little extra sweet chilli sauce into the patty mixture—every bite gets that lovely surprise kick.
  • Toast the buns just enough so they’re golden and slightly crispy; it keeps everything from getting soggy and adds that little homemade touch.
  • Get creative with toppings—pickled red onions, avocado slices, or a sprinkle of feta make these burgers feel like a restaurant treat right at your kitchen table.

Cook the patties for about 5–6 minutes per side on medium heat, until golden brown and fully cooked through. They should reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for safety.

Yes! They’re a leaner, lighter alternative to beef burgers, especially when paired with fresh veggies and minimal oil. They can easily be part of a balanced meal.

Totally! Bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

Okay, can we all agree that Taco Tuesday is literally the best night of the week?! It’s my go-to for a fun, easy dinner that I know everyone will love. And since this year’s National Taco Day is happening on a Tuesday (Oct 7th!), we are going ALL out!

I’ve gathered my absolute best, most-loved Taco Tuesday ideas to make your next taco night a total knockout. We are not the only ones crazy about Taco Tuesday Old El Paso is declaring October 7 “ National Taco Day-Off ” and giving you a chance to win a trip to a Cowboy Ranch.

How to Make The Quickest Tacos

I know weeknights are crazy! You want an amazing Taco Tuesday, but you need it FAST. These are my secret weapons for getting delicious tacos on the table in under 30 minutes.

  • Prep Ahead: Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and onions in the morning or the night before. Store them in airtight containers in the fridge. When it’s time to eat, you just have to set them out!
  • Use Smart Shortcuts: Don’t be afraid to use pre-shredded cheese, a bag of slaw mix, or a good quality store-bought pico de gallo or guacamole to save time. You can find pico de gallo in the refrigerated section, I love the one from Trader Joe’s . It’s known for being consistently fresh, chunky, and having a great flavor. My biggest tip for any store-bought pico is to drain off any extra liquid at the bottom of the container and give it a stir. If you want to make it taste homemade, add a quick squeeze of fresh lime juice and a little chopped cilantro. It makes all the difference!
  • Cook The Meat in Batches: I love to cook a double batch of taco meat on Sunday. I use half for dinner that night and save the other half for Tuesday. It reheats in minutes and its good to store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

What to stuff in a Perfect Taco?

Building the perfect taco is an art, and it’s all about the layers! Here’s my guide to the essential components.

  • The Tortilla: Choose your base! Flour tortillas are soft and pliable, great for over-stuffed tacos these are my personal favourite, I use the Tortilla Land uncooked flour tortillas. You find them in the refrigerated section and cook them in a hot pan for about 30 seconds per side. They puff up and taste incredible. Corn tortillas offer an authentic, slightly sweet flavor and are amazing when quickly charred on a gas stove or in a hot pan. Hard Shells give you that classic, satisfying crunch.
  • The Protein: While the recipes below give you tons of options, don’t be afraid to mix it up! Pick from seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, spicy chorizo, or black beans for a great veggie option.
  • The Toppings (The Best Part!): Get creative with a taco bar! Set out bowls of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole!
