Mexi Veggie Burger

Veggie burgers may not be our favorite burgers but when you get creative like this, they turn out pretty darn good! We always try to incorporate different proteins during burger week.

Creamy Salsa Verde Sauce Ingredients

• 3 Tomatillos, husked

• 1/2 Red Pepper, halved

• 1 Ripe Avocado

• 2-3 Cloves of Garlic, lightly crushed

Burger Ingredients

• 2 Kaiser Buns

• Butter Lettuce

• Tomato Slices

• Red Onion, sliced

• 2 Slices White Cheese

Directions

• Lay out all sauce ingredients on a baking sheet (except the avocado) and toss with the oil then broil until charred - approx. 1 hour on a mixture of LO & HI.

• Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

• Combine the charred veggies and remaining sauce ingredients in a blender or magic bullet and mix until smooth. Adjust/add seasoning as needed.

• Combine all burger patty ingredients in a bowl, mix well and form into 3-4 patties. Place in the fridge approx. 30 minutes.

• Heat your pan on medium/low heat, and add in a tbsp of olive oil. Cook the burgers for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown. When the patty is almost cooked, add a slice of white cheese on top.

• Dress the buns with the creamy salsa verde sauce and vegetables and serve! You could get crazy and turn the tomatoes into pico or add crispy tortillas strips or jalapeno slices and have some extra fun!
