Spicy Mexican Bean Burger

This is a very simple and tasty veggie burger recipe I recently tried.

16 ounce can of red kidney beans, drained and mashed
~ I have used black beans and pinto beans too
1/2 cup small onion, coarsley chopped
1/2 green pepper, coarsley chopped
1 carrot, steamed and mashed
1/8 cup picante sauce or salsa (spicy or mild to your taste)
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. black pepper (or to taste)
dash of chili powder

Mix all ingredients together.

Add more flour to create a firmer mixture, or more salsa if mixture is too stiff.

Form into balls and smash into patties.

These cook best in a pan with a bit of peanut oil or butter… about 8 minutes or until both sides are crispy brown.

Serve on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and salsa.

yield: 8 – 10 burgers
