Are Easy Mexican Ranch Burgers high in carbs?

Yes. Traditionally, the bun is the highest carbohydrate factor when eating a burger. While Easy Mexican Ranch Burgers are healthier than a conventional burger, it cannot be considered low carb if served on a bun, even if it is whole wheat. In order to make this a lower-carb recipe, omit the bun and serve in a lettuce wrap.

The carbohydrates clock in at 29 grams per serving depending upon ingredients used, so this recipe does not fall in the low carb category. If you need a low carb dinner option, try my Keto Sesame Crusted Chicken.

How to make Easy Mexican Ranch Burgers

To make this recipe, begin by combining the beef, ranch seasoning, cumin, chili powder and adobo sauce in a large bowl.

Using clean hands, form four patties out of your meat mixture. Heat an outdoor or indoor grill to medium high, then grease the grill so that the burgers do not stick.

Grill each hamburger for 4 minutes on one side, then flip the burgers, place cheese on top, and grill for an additional 2 minutes until cooked through. Serve on a whole grain bun with toppings as desired.
