Swirls of Flavor Recipe Tips
- To make ahead, shape the black bean burgers into patties and refrigerate the raw patties until ready to cook. Let the patties come to room temperature before cooking.
- You can also make the cilantro sauce aioli recipe ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Top your black bean patty with slices of pepper jack cheese or a good melting cheese.
Substitutions
- Substitute taco seasoning for the chili powder, cumin, kosher salt and garlic powder.
- Substitute plain Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise.
- Substitute sour cream for half of the mayonnaise.
Storage
- Store the cooked homemade black bean burgers wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.
- Burgers will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- As always, I find it helpful to visit the FDA website for food storage guidelines
