Back in February my husband and I had lunch at Busboys and Poets in DC. We loved everything we ate so much I made a big pot of Moroccan Harira Soup the following week and I have been eager to make a bean burger like the one they serve.
About a month later I found this Mexi Burger recipe on Pinterest from www.thetolerantvegan.com. It's not the same as the burger I tried at the restaurant but it was just as delicious and I got 5 thumbs up at the dinner table!
Funny how recipes travel, the Mexi Burger was actually an adaptation of a recipe originally posted on www.chefchloe.com, minus the mango sauce. Then I took it and added a few extras myself. I had some mushrooms in the fridge that were on their last leg so I sautéed them with a little garlic and onion, salt and pepper. Aside from the guacamole, we topped ours with the mushrooms, sliced red onion, baby spinach and spread a little vegenaise on the bun too. This might be our new go-to burger recipe!
