Ingredients:

  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese optional
  • 4 whole wheat burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and avocado slices for toppings

Instructions:

Use a fork or potato masher to mash the black beans in a large bowl until they are mostly smooth, but leave some chunks for crunch

Cook the quinoa and corn

Then, add the red bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper

Mix everything together well

If you want to help the mixture stay together, add the grated cheddar cheese and bread crumbs

Split the mixture in half and shape each half into a burger patty

Lightly oil the grill or pan and heat it over medium-high heat so that food doesn't stick

Plant-based burger patties should be cooked on the grill or in a pan for four to five minutes on each side, or until they are hot all the way through and have grill marks on the outside

You can make the Taco Aioli while the burgers are cooking

In a small bowl, mix your favorite taco seasoning with mayonnaise

You can grill or toast the whole wheat burger buns until they are just barely browned

Put together your Mexican Veggie Burgers by putting a lot of Taco Aioli on the bottom bun, then a lettuce leaf, the veggie burger patty, and finally tomato and avocado slices on top

Put the top bun on top of the stack and use a toothpick to hold it in place if necessary

Serve your homemade Mexican Veggie Burgers with Taco Aioli hot!
