Mmmmmmh…burgers. I’m drooling like Homer Simpson, my stomach’s growling, and I wanna rip this Spicy South of the Border Vegetarian Burger off the page and eat it! Since that’s physically impossible, I’m gonna follow this recipe from our health and yummy-conscious friends at Culinary Healing and make a big, juicy one as SOON as I get home.
Ingredients:
-Avocado-Mango Relish
1/2 cup(s) avocado, chopped
3 tablespoon(s) mango chutney
-Burgers
6 large whole grain bread, slices
15 ounce(s) black beans, canned, rinsed and drained
1 cup(s) salsa, medium hot
1/2 cup(s) green onion, chopped

2 1/2 teaspoon(s) oregano, dried
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoon(s) arrowroot
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 large egg (or egg replacer)
1 cup(s) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (optional)
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 cup(s) flour, for dredging
8 whole grain bread, buns, split
