Spicy Mexican Bean Burger

My husband really liked them, the kids; not so much. I thought they were really good, filled me up very fast. I only got through about 3/4 of it. Awesome if you are trying to watch your weight.

This is amazing! I"ve never had a veggie burger before but I have to tell you, the kids and I LOVE it! Thanks!

Yum! Whenever I can make a vegetarian dish that my husband would like me to make again, that's five stars! I omitted the corn because he doesn't like it and I used quick oats instead of flour. I also went heavy on the seasonings because we like things spicy. To cook, I fried them in a thin layer of olive oil, turning several times and finally topping with cheese. My husband said it reminded him of a torta.

This was a great burger. Even my non-vegetarian friends were raving about it. I used a lot more spice, because it was a little bland to begin with. I also doubled the recipe and had plenty for leftovers for the week. I used this base for burritos also. Thanks for the great recipe!

3 points for WW's without a bun.. The next time I make this I will not use as much flour as it taste realllllly pasty.. I UPed the anti and threw in some chipotle peppers, and topped with lettuce & tomato..

Have made several times with various types of beans (refried are not available). I found using mashed adzuki beans and finely chopped (not blended) veg works best for me. I've also slightly increased the breadcrumb and salsa content to compensate for flavour. Nevertheless, nice starting point of a recipe; I would not have considered adding salsa.

I'm trying to use up what's left in my house and that's not leaving much to choose from in terms of dinner. Luckily I had evrything for these. Well, mostly! I used almost a whole cup of bread crumbs, the rest was made up of wheat germ. And I left out the olives because I'm out but most of the family won't eat them anyway. I served these on 40 Minute Hamburger Buns (which is not vegan) with fat free sour cream and salsa. A good refried bean burger! Filling and tasty, it's one I'll probably make again.

These were delicious! I was concerned that they were very sticky but they held together really well when browning. Made only a few minor changes: I chopped the onion & pepper smaller and left them & the other veg. whole so the burgers had some small chunks. Also mixed in some chopped black olives instead of using slices and used about 1/4 tsp each chili powder and cumin. Served with sharp cheddar cheese slices and a southwestern pasta salad on the side. Thanks for the recipe!

This is delicious! I made it tonight without the corn, and with extra amounts of the spices. I put in on a plate without a bun, and topped it with salsa, avocado slices and monterey jack cheese- heavenly! And the recipe is so flexible, I'm looking forward to trying it with different toppings, and maybe on a bun or a corn tortilla. Will add this to my "regulars" list!

This recipe is a good start - as written the spices are really muted, I would double them at least. I found too that I could easily mix everything by hand. I omitted the corn and added one fresh jalapeno.

These were filling and after I made a few changes absolutely delish! I did find the batter a bit bland at first so I added a bunch of extra spice, lots of tabasco and some lime juice. The batter was so easy to handle and this is the first veggie patty recipe I've used that hasn't fallen apart while cooking. Hoorah! I served on a bun with carmalized onions, tomato, avocado and cheddar for a great combo.

These burgers were very good, and I'm sure I'll make them again. They didn't hold together all that well, so I added an egg to bind them (that did the job). Thanks for posting this....I really liked them!

Nice. I used regular refried beans equal parts oats, panko bread crumbs and flour.

Wonderful and easy. I was trying to recreate one of my favorite restaurant dishes, a black bean pita burger, and this is just as good. I only used 1/3 cup of flour and 1/3 cup breadcrumbs, used red and yellow peppers instead of green, and refried black beans. Served it on a pita with red onion, lettuce, chopped red/yellow peppers, corn and Greek yogurt.

A wonderful recipe that everoyone enjoyed vegetarian or not. I didn't have enough re-fried beans so added black eye beans. Thanks.

I took advice of previous reviewer and used masa. I liked the texture and the taste of these "burgers." I added sliced black olives (without stuffing them into the patty) and instead just mixed them throughout. I did have to COOK them on medium quite a while because otherwise the insides would have been too gummy. I ate them with salsa and sourcream. Quite tasty.

Wow Shannon! Thanks for the idea. The basic recipe is incredible. From there, I made a lot of changes to suit my tastes and based on what I had in the fridge. The end result was incredible thanks to your base recipe. Instead of bread crumbs, I used masa harina and I used whole wheat flour. I bought some of my favorite salsa from a local restaurant and used the carrot and a red pepper and a tiny bit of our own roasted green chile instead of the powder. No cumin because we don't like it around here and no onion because I forgot to buy any. If you like rellenos, tacos, or tamales, try the masa. It gives an awesome flavor and texture to the whole mixture. I can't wait to wrap the leftovers up in a whole wheat tortilla today with some cheese and the leftover salsa.
