There's a meat shortage going on and it's not much of a problem for me (for my husband, that's another story).  I went vegetarian for a few years back in my 20's.  Now, I still enjoy plant proteins and meatless meals.  Back when I was vegetarian, I was doing it, not only for my health, but as a stance on animal rights (hello, college years).

These days, I've incorporated meatless meals into my diet mostly for my health, but also because I truly enjoy eating these meat substitutions.  It allows me to cut down on my meat intake while still getting an appropriate amount of protein.  Plus, it encourages me to use a lot of fresh ingredients.

Grilling season is back and I'm so ready to sink my teeth into a juicy burger.  Any juicy burger!  I've become a big fan of Beyond Meat products this past year.  In fact, I think they're the best meatless products on the market right now.

If you're trying to cut down on meat, but not the flavor, Beyond is it!  The first time I tried one of their patties, I was shocked to find that it had the same consistency and flavor as a regular beef burger.

I was able to get a package of Beyond veggie based crumbles in one of my Hungryroot boxes.  Even though they offer the patties, I wanted to be able to make my own and add in additional ingredients.

After making my Black Bean Taco Salad, I had some of my homemade tortilla strips leftover.  I was immediately inspired to make a taco style burger mixed with hot sauce, taco seasoning, and shredded cheddar.  Once the burgers were cooked, I topped them with lettuce, more cheese, tortilla strips, and salsa!

If you're not a fan of spicy food, you can omit the Tabasco sauce completely.  I just put enough of it in the burger mixture to give it some good flavor.  If you're not big on meatless proteins, you can totally make a good old fashioned beef burger with this seasoning blend.  Want to get real crazy?  Serve this burger in a soft tortilla!
