Spicy Mexican Bean Burger, This is an inexpensive vegetarian burger and my husband loves them. He ate one and he said they are filling, delicious and he said he wants more made when these are gone and he even said that they are better than store bought. They don’t fall apart like most veggie burgers and all the ingredients are available at any grocery store., This is an excellent veggie-burger recipe that doesn’t require a food processor. Here are my suggestions/ improvements I made based on the other reviews: 1. Refried beans: used Trader Joe’s refried beans with jalapeos. They’re low-fat not fat-free as the recipe calls for but help incredibly with the flavor. For those who want a kick, maybe a bit of freshly-chopped jalapeos. 2. Veggies: I didn’t have carrots. I added 2 cloves of garlic and chopped all the veggies very well instead of blending, which added to the texture of the burger. 3. Seasoning: 1/4 tsp each of cumin and chili peppers, 4 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s fat-free chunky salsa, and 3 tablespoons each of sesame seeds and millet. The latter boost the texture of the burger as well. Apart from the above, I followed the measurements exactly as listed. The patties stayed together very well.. Forms about 7 smaller-than-fist-sized burgers. I felt like I was generous with the salt and pepper, but it came out perfectly! Make sure to taste the mix before cooking., This is delicious! I made it tonight without the corn, and with extra amounts of the spices. I put in on a plate without a bun, and topped it with salsa, avocado slices and monterey jack cheese- heavenly! And the recipe is so flexible, I’m looking forward to trying it with different toppings, and maybe on a bun or a corn tortilla. Will add this to my “regulars” list!
