Taco Burgers On Paleo Burger Buns

   These grain free, low carb Taco Burgers on Paleo Burger Buns are taco flavored burgers, that are topped with chipotle mayonnaise, tomato, avocado and optional cheese.

    The inspiration for these came to me on a camping trip. Yes, my family decided to take me camping, and away from internet access, cell phone reception and the busy salon I work at.  It was wonderful, but I do get a little stressed about going on a trip when I have Celiac, and the chances for getting cross contaminated on the road are pretty high. I always have to pack a lot of food and snacks for me that are safe.

I am always excessively hungry when camping with all the hiking swimming and running around. I was craving tacos and burgers, as they are a favorite food of mine. And that is when it hit me, and taco burgers were born. As soon as we returned home, I made these bad boys in my new stove top grill pan, and tried out a new burger bun recipe that I adapted from my paleo bagel recipe. The buns were tasty, low carb and easy to make. They would be great on sandwiches too, and are sturdy enough to toast in a toaster.
