Green Chile Black Bean Burger

I love vegetable burgers. Not the mass produced fake meat type, but homemade with lots of actual vegetables and grains! I don’t usually eat them on a bun, but you of course can! I like them along side lots of fresh salad like vegetables and crunchy pickles and onions.

There are roasted chilies in the patty. I put more on top with some cheese. This is vegan if you leave off the cheese or use a vegan alternative cheese.

Green Chile Black Bean Burger-makes 6 big burgers. This looks like a long list but you probably have everything in your pantry except the corn and chilies.

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained and mashed
¼ cup onion, diced
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup panko or bread-crumbs
2 roasted green chilies diced (=1/4 to 1/2 cup), more if you want to top your burger with chilies
½ cup corn. I used raw cut off the cob
2 tablespoons salsa (helps to hold everything together, use more if your burger isn’t easy to form into a patty)
2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1 teaspoon, chili powder
1 teaspoon onion granules
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Gather your ingredients.

Mash your beans and cut up your vegetable and put everything a a bowl big enough to mix everything together. 

Not looking too yummy yet :-(

Shape this mix into 6 patties. Heat a heavy skillet to medium and film it with oil and brown them for about 4-5 minutes and carefully flip them over. You can add more chilies and or cheese now, if you want.

You can make the patties shaped but uncooked, a day or two ahead of when you want them. They freeze really well too, shaped and -cooked or uncooked, if you can’t eat them all in a week or so. I like to use leftovers like taco meat, in nachos or a burrito-or TACOS!

If you try these let me know how you liked them.
