ingredients
- 4 pretzel buns
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices of Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
- Vegetable oil, for grillingFor the veggie patty:
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
steps
- 1.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- 2.
In a medium bowl, mash the black beans until mostly smooth. Add breadcrumbs, red onion, bell pepper, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 3.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- 4.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and chipotle in adobo sauce. Set aside.
- 5.
Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan. Grill the veggie patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until nicely charred and heated through. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of each patty to melt.
- 6.
While the patties are grilling, slice the pretzel buns in half and lightly toast them.
- 7.
Once the patties are done, remove them from the grill. Spread chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun.
- 8.
Build the burger by placing a veggie patty on top of the chipotle mayo, followed by avocado slices, roasted red peppers, lettuce, and the top half of the pretzel bun.
