Chipotle Lime Black Bean Burgers

Inspired by the Black Beans "burgers" I did at work yesterday, but NOT wanting 700mg of sodium per...here is a veggie suggestion I just came up with for your M. Day "Q":

Can of black beans, drained and rinsed well
1/3 cup frozen white corn, thawed
1/4 cup cooked brown rice
1/3 cup sweet white onion, tiny dice
1/3 cup roasted red pepper, diced
1/3 cup diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 egg
1 fresh small jalapeno, tiny dice
EVOO
A small splash of rice vinegar
A small splash of LOW sodium soy sauce
A pinch each of smoked paprika, cumin, and chipotle powder
Freshly ground pepper
Johnny's Garlic Spread or garlic powder
A big squeeze of lime juice

Caramelized onions (to top burger)
Pepper Jack cheese slices

Mash half the beans, and leave the rest whole. In a med. bowl, combine all ingredients, and mix well. Form into patties, and brush with EVOO. Grill or broil til lightly blackened (keep turning!!) Top with caramelized onions and pepper jack. Or, serve open face with a squeeze of lime and plain Greek yogurt or sour cream. This one will open your eyes!!!!

Enjoy this SPLENDID day we have in front of us!

Love,

MM
