These are great for dinner parties or Mexican themed nights. I created this recipe from scratch and was pleasantly surprised with how yummy they tasted! Arjun also enjoyed his (I excused chilli and salt from his). I hope you enjoy x
Makes: about 20 mini bean burgers
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 40g tortilla chips
- 60g cheddar cheese
- 2 slices of bread (for breadcrumbs)
- 1 tin chick peas
- 1 tin kidney beans
- 1 teaspoon tomato purée
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 green chilli
- 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic
- A handful of coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red chilli
- 1 red onion
- 2 shallots
Method:
- Roughy mash the chickpeas and kidney beans using the back of a fork. Crush the tortilla chips
- Toast the bread and grind in food blender to make breadcrumbs.
- Dice the shallots and red onion and chop the green chilli and coriander finely
- Mix all the ingredients together and combine using a fork
- Once mixed well and formed a mouldable texture, scoop a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and pat using your hands in to a small burger shape
- Shallow fry until browned on either side
- If you’d like them a little crispier, bake further for 25 minutes or until reached desired texture.
Serving suggestion: these taste delicious topped with homemade salsa, gherkins, tomato and cheese
