Southwest BurgerFit Burger

There is a reason so many restaurants create a vegetarian burger from black beans: they make delicious burgers! We love eating this, both as a traditional burger and as a deconstructed version for taco night!

  • Food processor
  • Large bowl

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet on medium heat with 1 teaspoon cooking fat. Add the kale and ½ teaspoon salt, and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Once the kale is cooked, put the black beans, kale, chili powder, paprika, Jalapeno Koops' mustard, and desired amount of jalapeno (optional) in the food processor (or finely chop kale and mash black beans with hands). Let the mixture cool completely. 
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground meat and remaining teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate vegetable mixture into the ground meat. Add as much as you can while still being able to form your burgers as normal.
    *If you end up adding too much vegetable mixture, don’t worry! Just form your burgers and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Cook burgers on medium heat on the stove for 5 minutes each side or to your preference. Cooking times can vary.
  • Optional: Serve with salsa and make as a deconstructed taco burger with cassava flour tortillas.
