Mexican-style bean burger with salsa
Background
This simple, yet delicious Mexican-style bean burger with roasted pepper& tomato salsa is ideal for vegetarians or the health-conscious. Instead of normal breadcrumbs you can use gluten-free versions, or just gram flour (which is low carb).
Ingredients
- For the patties:
- 1 can kidney beans (400g)
- 30g bread crumbs (can be gluten-free)
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- ½ Tbsp chipotle paste
- 1 small egg, beaten
- zest of 1 lime
- For the salsa:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- juice of 1 lime
- 1-2 pinch of chilli flakes
- Rocket or romaine lettuce leaves
- corn tortilla
Instructions
- Drain the beans and put in a blender together with the breadcrumbs, egg, chipotle paste, spring onions and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper, then whiz until you get a coarse mixture.
- Shape 4 equal sized balls from the mixture, then press them slightly between your palms.
- Put the patties on a plate, cover and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes or until needed.
- Make the salsa: cut the peppers into small cubes, scatter them onto a baking tray and drizzle with the oil. Grill or roast in the oven for 15 minutes, then add the tomatoes and bake for a further 5-10 minutes. Transfer the mixture and the cooking juices into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and add the juice of the lime and the chilli flakes. Toss and set aside.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and cook the patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile warm or toast the tortilla wraps.
- Fill each tortilla with some lettuce, salsa and a patty.
