Recipe: Meatless Spicy Black Bean Burgers
Sandwiches and Wraps Recipes, Vegetarian Recipes
Try these meatless spicy black bean burgers at your next barbecue! This recipe makes 4. We have beef burgers often at our house… but my vegetarian daughter and myself opt for these. Got extras? Throw them in the fridge and crumble in your omelet or salad the next day! The pepper jacks cheese in these black bean burgers adds nice kick & texture but if you want, skip the cheese and you’ll lower the calories. I don’t have to tell you that black beans are a great source of fiber that aids in digestion. Cook in a pan or on the grill – either way works!! Enjoy!
