(Recipe Review) Black Bean Burgers by Donna

[Guest guest]

These are very good. I took one burger, sliced it in half and placed each

half on a tortilla along with some fresh jalp slices and a dollop of sour

cream on each. Good stuff.

 

I used 2 of the bigger cans of black beans because that's what I had on hand

(20oz??). I'll use the bigger cans next time too. I'll increase the veggies

and seasonings (which I had already but will increase further next time) to

make up for the increase in beans and may even decrease (just a touch) the

breadcrumbs. Since there were more beans the burgers were pretty big which

is great. You can either do what I do and split a burger for two tortillas

or have a traditional style monster (bean) burger.

 

Thanks Donna!
