Ingredients

  • 2 x 420 g chilli beans

  • ½ cup coriander leaves, finely chopped 

  • ½ lime, zested and juiced 

  • 1 Jalapeno, finely chopped (optional) 

  • 1 cup bread crumbs 

  • 1 large egg, beaten 

  • Olive oil


Burger Toppings

  • Burger buns 

  • Monterey Jack cheese slices 

  • Chipotle mayonnaise 

  • Sliced tomato 

  • Cos lettuce 

Preparation

  1. In a large mixing bowl place the chilli beans, and roughly crush with the back of a fork. You can also use a blender and lightly pulse the beans, still keeping a bit of texture, then transfer to a bowl. 

  2. Now add in the coriander, lime zest and juice, jalapeno (if using), bread crumbs and egg. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. 

  3. Line a baking tray with some baking paper and set aside. 

  4. Using slightly wet hands, divide the burger mixture into 6 even patties and place them on the prepared tray. Pop them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. 

  5. To cook, heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. 

  6. Add the patties, making sure to flatten them slightly with a flipper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown. 

  7. Flip and then add a slice (or two) of Monterey Jack cheese and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. 

  8. Split the buns in half and Toast (or have them fresh), spread on some chipotle mayonnaise, add the burger patty, cheese, lettuce, a few slices of tomato, and serve.
