A delightful twist on the classic bean burger, featuring a zesty lime yogurt sauce and a touch of spice.
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the burgers to achieve a nice sear.
Mash the beans in a large bowl using a potato masher until slightly chunky.
Leave some texture in the beans for a better burger consistency.
Mix in the breadcrumbs, chili powder, chopped cilantro stems, egg, and salsa. Combine well with a fork.
If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs.
Divide the mixture into six portions and shape each into a patty with wet hands.
Wet hands prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Place the patties on a non-stick baking tray and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp.
Flip the patties gently to keep them intact.
Mix the yogurt, lime juice, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Taste the sauce and adjust lime juice or pepper to your preference.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the lime yogurt sauce on the bun base, adding the patty, and topping with more sauce and your favorite toppings.
Toast the buns lightly for added texture and flavor.
Serve the burgers warm with your choice of sides.
Pair with a fresh salad or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
