Ethnic Food Meets USA: Taco Burgers

This is a cool recipe. Here it goes:
 
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 medium onion, minced
1 egg
1 & 1/2 TBS lime juice (to taste)
2 TBS cumin
3 TBS cilantro
1/2 TBS red pepper flakes (to taste)
pinch of garlic salt
8oz your favorite cheese, crumbled or shredded
8 slices of tomato, or diced, your choice
8 leaves of lettuce, or shredded
8 burrito sized tortillas
Your favorite salsa 
 
Optional: Sour cream.
 
 
Mix the meat, onion, cheese, and spices together. Form into 8 patties. Cook on your George Foreman type grill, or broil until outsides are seared, and most of the grease drained out. 
 
Place each patty into a tortilla, fold the tortilla over. If using diced tomato and shredded lettuce, fold that into the tortilla as well.
Lightly fry in a fry pan by placing folded side down, or, if you have a press, to grill it into a panini style sandwich.
 
If you’re using the sliced tomatoes and whole lettuce leaves, place those on top, similar to how you’d make flautas. Add your salsa, and enjoy.
