Red Bean Burger

This vegan high-protein burger recipe hits all your cravings for Mexican food the right way! It is so comforting and easy to make and so simple to make-and-freeze that it makes for an easy go-to dinner during work days.


I usually batch make these burger patties and freeze them. Then use it in wraps, salads, burgers or munch on them as is for snack.




For condiments I use Avocado mint dip and for toppings choices are endless - tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, lettuce, tortilla strips, avocado slices, mango salsa!! Basically whatever you crave.


This red bean burger is a nice shift from the traditional black bean burgers and I think red kidney beans are more smoother and softer than black beans. But by all means, if black beans is all you have, please replace red beans with equal proportion of black beans in the recipe
