1/4 cup bottled chunky salsa, plus more for topping the burgers.3/4 cup corn kernels (canned, fresh, or thawed).1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, plus 2-3 teaspoons adobo sauce.1-15oz can black beans, drained & rinsed.Place the cooked burgers on a toasted bun (I used a Thin Bun,) then slather with mashed avocado and salsa, if you please! While the patties are doin’ their thang, smash up 1 avocado, garlic powder, salt & pepper in a small bowl with a potato masher. They need a good 5-6 minutes on each side to not only cook the egg, but also to make sure the patties don’t fall apart. Resist the urge to flip or remove the patties at the first sight of browning.

Spray the skillet generously with non-stick spray, then slap the patties on and let them cook for 5-6 minutes a side, or until they’re firm on the inside, and golden brown on the outside. Shape the black bean mixture, which will be wet, don’t be scared, into 4 patties while you heat a large skillet over medium heat. Next add 3/4 cup corn kernels, 1/4 cup chunky salsa, 3/4 cups panko bread crumbs, and 1 egg white. Scoop the bean mixture into a big bowl, then add the other half of the can of beans on top. PS you could totally use a potato masher to smash the beans, and finely mince the onion, chipotle pepper, and garlic if you don’t have a food processor!

Process the ingredients until they’re fairly smooth, scraping the sides a couple of times if you need to. Next add 2 garlic cloves, plus 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. CPAS are smoked jalapenos that are wonderfully smoky, and not super spicy. To the beans add 1/4 small red onion that’s been roughly chopped, and 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce plus 2 teaspoons of the Adobo sauce. Canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (available in the ethnic foods aisle!)īegin by draining then rinsing 1 can black beans, then placing half the can into a food processor.Start the Chipotle Black Bean Burgers by assembling zee ingredients: I liked it just as much, so I decided to make this version at home! Before I could tell him it was a veggie burger, he had popped a piece in his mouth and was raving about it’s flavor. We were at Costco a couple weekends ago, on our tour de sample Saturday, when he spied some Chipotle Morningstar Farms Burgers being demonstrated nearby. The smoky chipotle pepper flavor sets these babies apart from any other bean burger I’ve tried.īen’s actually the one who turned me on to the flavor combo. :)Ĭreamy black beans join smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to create a vegetarian burger that is truly unique and satisfying. I’m not quite sure what brought this on, or how long it’s going to last (especially with a giant vat of my Aunt’s famous Italian sausages in the fridge that we brought back with us!) but for now I will happily deliver on his request for something vegetarian for dinner, with Chipotle Black Bean Burgers. “I’m going to eat vegetarian for the next 10 days!” “Oh really!?” I asked, not quite sure I had heard my meat and potatoes husband right, then wondering if I should check his wrist for a pulse or cheeks for a fever.

On the way home from Ohio yesterday, when he had a 13.5 hour drive to think about it (barf!) Ben had a new response to my weekly challenge: (Sheesh, it’s as if I’ve asked him to solve America’s debt crisis or something!) I can’t THINK!” as he puts his head between his hands and squeezes his eyes shut. “Salmon! With lemon! AND MASHED POTATOES!!” ( Enough with the lemon salmon with mashed potatoes! I shriek inside my head.)Ī gigantic smile (which means he wants BBQ Chicken Quesadillas.) Ben and I have a fun game called every Sunday I ask him what he wants for dinner during the upcoming week, then he responds with one of the following:
