A hearty, spicy pinto bean burger with fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, corn, red onion and smoky spices piled high on a bun with cheddar cheese, crispy bacon and avocado. A Tex-mex explosion of flavors to make your taste buds dance.
If you never had a bean burger then you’re deprived. Seriously. What are you waiting for? They’re surprisingly good. You all know how much I love a beef burger, right? It’s entirely possible I may love bean burgers even more. They have a slight edge to them being there’s more varieties of beans then there is beef giving me more variations to love. Makes perfect sense.
Thank goodness I don’t have to decide. There’s room enough for every kind of burger in my life.
And yours.
Meatless included.
Make them. Wonder where bean burgers have been all your life. Then thank me.
You’re welcome.

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw that one of the ingredients in this recipe for “Veggie” burgers was bacon! However I will still try out the recipe, but only serve the bacon to the non-vegetarians!

Haha I’m glad you found it funny and didn’t get mad at me! I’ve heard that some vegetarians will eat bacon because it is just so good. There also is a vegetarian tempeh bacon you could use.
I used to buy Veggie burgers way back when, and my fave was a bean burger with some southwest flavor. If this tastes anything like how I remember those, I will definitely enjoy these! Must try making my own bean burgers!
I want one NOW! YUM!
Absolutely LOVE this!
