Ingredients
-
16 ounce can of red kidney beans, drained and mashed
1/2 cup small onion, coarsley chopped
1/2 green pepper, coarsley chopped
1 carrot, steamed and mashed
1/8 cup picante sauce or salsa (spicy or mild to your taste)
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. black pepper (or to taste)
dash of chili powder
Directions
Mix all ingredients together. Add more flour to create a firmer mixture, or more salsa if mixture is too stiff. Form into balls and smash into patties. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until firm, brown and done. Serve on a whole wheat bun with lettuce, tomato and salsa. Accompany with tortilla chips and a large glass of iced tea. These can be grilled or pressed in those new-fangled sandwich presses... a lot quicker and tastier than baking. [Author's note: "When I studied in England for a semester, I fell in love with Wimpy's Spicey Mexican Bean Burgers. Upon returning to the states, I struggled to recreate this burger. This is what I've come up with."]
(Note: We cut back black pepper to 1/2 tsp. Although unspecified, we used whole wheat flour. We made these a second time, adding 1/2 tsp. of salt. Many of us preferred them this way.)
