Mexican Bean Burger

Mexican Bean Burger

This is a relatively inexpensive vegetarian burger. They don't fall apart like most veggie burgers and all the ingredients are available at any grocery store. They can be made more or less spicy depending upon the amount of chili powder and hot sauce.


SERVES 6 , 6 burgers

1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 cup small onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 green pepper, coarsely chopped
1/4-1/2 cup frozen corn
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1/4 cup picante sauce or salsa (spicy or mild to your taste)
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup sliced black olives
hot sauce, a few drops per burger (optional)


Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.
Add onions, carrots, corn and chopped green pepper.
In the meantime, place beans in a large bowl.
Sauté until vegetables are bright in color.
Add vegetables to beans, blend with hand mixer.
Add remaining ingredients, adding more flour to create a firmer mixture, or more salsa if mixture is too stiff.
Form into balls and smash into patties.
Place on pieces of waxed paper and stack in Tupperware.
Place about 5 sliced olives in middle of patty, smash to seal them inside.
To heat, spray each burger with cooking spray.
Heat over medium heat and cook until browned on one side.
Flip and drop a few drops of hot sauce on burger if desired.
Serve these with salsa, chopped onions and avocado slices on a toasted burger bun (toast the face in the same skillet used for the burger or in a toaster).
