  • Eggs

  • Cumin
  • Olive oil

  • Avocado
  • Sour cream

  • Whole wheat hamburger buns


I'm a little behind on putting my recent recipes in.  This one was one I tried before Hubby announced 'no more cooking' for him.   

Obviously I'm still looking for a veggie burger recipe that I like.  I really thought this one would be it based on the recipe.  The last one was bland so I made sure that I put the full amount of chipotle in adobo sauce. 


They refused to stick together so came out crumbly - not quite 'patties'.  I decided to forego the buns and found out too late that Hubby had helped himself to the last avocado in the house so I threw a tomato slice on top and the sour cream sauce was just lime & sour cream - no avocado.  Hubby was done with his by the time I started mine and as I picked up my fork I noticed he was just staring at me!

"What?!"  

"Oh you'll see ... " he said

?! WTF does that mean ?!  Then I take a bite and ...

Holy sh*t this one was NOT bland!  I literally couldn't eat anymore it was just way too hot.  Hubby scarfed mine down with a chuckle.  Of course this is the same man that when he took his baby brother out for sushi the first time told him that you spread the wasabi on top of the piece of sushi like you do butter on a roll - meany! 

I'm not sure I'll try this one again but if hot is your thing go for it!
