Yes, you can make this taco burger recipe on the stove. We recommend using a large skillet or a cast iron skillet. Using the cast iron skillet is very similar to cooking on the griddle.

Place taco burger in a skillet with oil and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes per side. Add your favorite topping and serve.
