Mexi Vegetarian Burger

Yep, it’s been busy round here and unfortunately that means I haven’t had much time to play with food which means no new recipes, until now that is! Today I’m bringing it back with a simple and spicy recipe for a super tasty Mexi Vegetarian Burger.

Bringing together all those lovely spicy flavours with beans, avocado and crispy lettuce to create one very tasty mexi vegetarian burger recipe. Red kidney beans spiced up with cumin and paprika, a little heat from jalapeno and Tabasco and the added nutrition and yum of quinoa flakes quickly minced together to form tasty little veggie patties.

Served with fresh lettuce, tomato, thick slices of avocado and a habanero sauce these burgers are sure to please both veggies and meat eaters. If you enjoy dairy try adding sour cream or of course your favourite dairy or non-dairy cheese.

I’m thinking these mexi vegetarian burger patties would work just as well wrapped up in a soft tortilla, yum! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did, the perfect veggie burger for lazy Sundays; the recipe could easily be doubled for a large group or family. Om num num num….
