Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Cut four 12x18-inch sheets of aluminum foil.
- Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, and taco seasoning mix together in a medium bowl until well blended. Shape into four 4-inch patties. Mix potatoes and salsa in another medium bowl.
- Place 1 patty onto each piece of foil and top with 1/4 of the potato mixture and 1/4 of the Cheddar cheese. Wrap each packet securely using double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
- Place packets, seam-side up, on the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook, rearranging the packets several times, until patties are cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Tips:
- Choose your ground beef wisely: Opt for a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat ground beef for the best flavor and texture in your taco burgers.
- Don't overmix the ground beef: Overmixing can result in tough, dense burgers. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Season the ground beef generously: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to give your taco burgers plenty of flavor.
- Shape the ground beef into thin patties: This will help them cook evenly on the grill.
- Grill the taco burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning on the outside and staying raw on the inside.
- Top the taco burgers with your favorite toppings: Some classic options include shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and guacamole.
- Serve the taco burgers immediately: They're best enjoyed hot off the grill.
- For the potato foil packets: Use small red potatoes for even cooking. Cut them into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil packets: This will help them steam and cook evenly.
- Grill the potato foil packets over medium heat for 20-25 minutes: Or until the potatoes are tender.
