Blackstone Taco Burger Sliders
When a taco and cheeseburger have a “hot” date on the griddle, you have an incredible mash-up recipe of Blackstone Taco Burger Sliders!
Taco seasoned ground beef, with a little salsa and green chiles to amp up the flavor even more.
Oh, and on King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls make the BEST sliders.
I even make a Southwest sauce to spread on these with sour cream and salsa with hot sauce.
How to make Blackstone Taco Burger Sliders
First put 1 1/2 pound of ground beef in a bowl.
Then add some salsa, garlic, and a taco seasoning packet.
Also season with some kosher salt and pepper.
I added about half a jar of green chiles just because I had them open already.
They did add a great flavor so I recommend, but they are not totally needed.
Mix this together with your hands until combined.
Then form into a giant burger patty.
We are aiming for a rectangle, slightly larger than the slider buns.
Because the meat will shrink as it cooks, of course.
Preheat the griddle to medium for a few minutes.
Then add some cooking oil of choice and carefully transfer the burger patty to the griddle.
The patty will cook about 4 minutes per side.
Flipping this baby had me crossing my fingers!
I was able to flip using the hibachi spatula, no problem, in one piece.
I sliced the buns to separate the tops and bottoms, and toasted on the griddle for a minute.
Add some cheese during the last minute and serve on the slider buns.

Blackstone Taco Burger Sliders
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning blend
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 cup salsa
- 2 ounces canned green chiles (optional)
- kosher salt, pepper
- cooking oil of choice
- 6 to 8 slices Pepper Jack or Colby Jack cheese
- 1 12 count package King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Optional: shredded lettuce, pickled jalapenos, hot sauce
Instructions
- Put the ground beef in a bowl and add the taco seasoning packet, garlic, 1/4 cup of the salsa, green chiles (if using), kosher salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands until combined.
- Form the beef into one large square/ rectangle shaped patty on a tray, aim for the same shape, but slightly bigger than the slider buns because the burger will get smaller as it cooks.
- Preheat the griddle to medium. Once hot add some cooking oil and the beef patty. Cook about 4 minutes per side. Place the cheese on the burger during the last 2 minutes of cooking, overlapping the slices. Note: I had the best luck with a large hibachi spatula when flipping.
- Cut the slider buns or rolls in half, separating the top and bottom layers. Place them cut side down on the griddle for a minute to toast them slightly.
- Mix together the remaining salsa with the sour cream. Put the bottom side of the buns on a tray and put the burger over top. Add the sour cream salsa mixture, toppings of choice such as lettuce, jalapenos, and hot sauce, and place the top buns to serve.
