SPICY MEXICAN BEAN BURGER



Spicy Mexican Bean Burger image

This is an inexpensive vegetarian burger and my husband loves them. He ate one and he said they are filling, delicious and he said he wants more made when these are gone and he even said that they are better than store bought. They don't fall apart like most veggie burgers and all the ingredients are available at any grocery store.

MEXICAN CHORIZO AND GARLIC SHRIMP BURGER



MEXICAN CHORIZO AND GARLIC SHRIMP BURGER image

Categories     Sandwich     Pork     Shellfish     Dinner

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 21

• 17.6 ounces (500 grams) chorizo
GARLIC SHRIMP
• 8 large shrimp or prawns (2 per burger), peeled and deveined
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• *** PAPRIKA MAYONNAISE
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• Juice of 1 juicy lime
• *** TO FINISH:
• 1 handful flour, optional
• Extra-virgin olive oil (for frying patties)
• Unsalted butter (for frying patties)
• 4 medium potato or sweet potato buns
• 3/4 cups shredded Manchego cheese
• A few thin slices of tomatoes

Steps:

  • Garlic shrimp: After peeling, deveining, and rinsing the shrimp, dry them really well on a clean towel. Mix evenly with the rest of the ingredients, cover with plastic wrap and let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Paprika mayonnaise: Mix all of the ingredients together until even, then set aside. Burger: Divide chorizo into 4 equal portions, then shape it into patties. The next step is a little unconventional, but I like to dust a thin layer of flour on both sides of the patties so that they pan-fry into nice crusts (you can take this as optional). Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add a small nub of unsalted butter and the chorizo patties (maximum 2 patties at a time). Leave patties to pan-fry without moving, until nicely browned crust has formed on the bottom. Turn patties over, then add shredded Manchego cheese on top (2 to 3 tablespoons per burger). Cover skillet completely with a lid and keep cooking on medium-high heat for another 1 to 2 minutes, just until center of the patties is cooked through. Transfer patties with whatever crispy cheese-bits on the side, onto a plate and let them rest. Keep chorizo drippings in the skillet and cook shrimp on high heat, about 1 minute on each side until just cooked through. Then set aside. Apply good layer of paprika mayonnaise to both sides of buns, then put 2 thinly-sliced tomatoes and a chorizo patty on top. Slice the shrimp lengthwise and place over them the patty

MEXICAN CEMITA BURGER



Mexican Cemita Burger image

This recipe was one of 5 winners in the 2011 LA Times Burger contest. Cemita is the name of a sandwich popular in Puebla, Mexico. The name also refers to the bun which is an egg-rich bread topped with sesame seeds that is sort of a cross between challah and brioche. The papalo leaves are normally found in most Latin markets, but you can use a combination of cilantro leaves and watercress to mimic their flavor. The recipe was submitted by Harold Cohen of Hollywood, Florida.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from can)

1/2 cup lightly mashed avocado, preferably Hass (about 3/4 of an avocado)

1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from can)

2 slices red onions, very thin

Steps:

  • First prepare the chipotle crema by combining all the ingredients and mixing well (makes 2/3 cup which will keep, refrigerated, up to 1 week).
  • Next, make the avocado spread by combining all the ingredients and mixing well (makes1/2 cup spread which will keep, refrigerated, only 1 day.
  • Next prepare the burgers by combining the ground beef, chipotle peppe, adobo sauce, salt and pepper; mix well to combine, then divide into 2 patties to fit your buns.

  • Place tops of buns on patty and serve.

SARASOTA'S GREEN CHILI MEXICAN BURGER



Sarasota's Green Chili Mexican Burger image

These are easy but very full of flavor. I also prefer to use turkey for this, but if you are a die hard "beef fan" go ahead and use beef. The burger is moist and delicious and the cheese, avocado and mayonnaise just make this a wonderful burger.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 Burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 hamburger buns (don't use those small store bought rolls in a package, get a nice hearty roll)
1 1/3 lbs ground turkey (1/3 lb per burger)
2 tablespoons grated onions
3 tablespoons salsa (don't use the extra chunky kind, and use hot, med or mild, depending on how spicy you like it)
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
salt
pepper
8 slices monterey jack pepper cheese (2 per burger, and take advantage of the deli, purchase what you need rather than a whole block)
1 avocado, cut in thin wedges (2-3 per burger)
8 lettuce leaves
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, minced
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lime juice (I use 1 fresh lime, the remaining lime I squeeze over the avocado so it doesn't brown)

Steps:

  • Mayonnaise -- In a small bowl, add the green chilies mayonnaise, garlic and lime juice and mix well. If you want, you can blend this in a small food processor or blender, but I actually like a little texture to mine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This can easily be made ahead of time.
  • Burgers -- In a medium size bowl, add the salsa, chili powder, cumin, grated onion (and yes grate the onion right over the bowl, the juice is important), pinch of salt and pepper. If you use a mild salsa you can add a bit more chili powder, but I use a medium heat salsa which works just fine for this. Mix everything well. Then add in the turkey and mix lightly, I prefer to use my hands; and make sure not to over work the burgers.
  • Make 4 nice size burgers and place on a small sheet pan lined with either foil or parchment. Make a small indentation in the center of the burger with your thumb. Not too deep, just a little indent; this helps the burger not to shrink up as it grills. Season with salt and pepper and put in the freezer. We are not freezing them, just firming them up. They cook better after they rest a bit and are chilled. About 15-20 minutes in the freezer. These also can be made a head of time.
  • Garnish -- Prepare your avocado slices and drizzle with the remaining lime juice (just so they doesn't brown), lettuce leaves and cheese.
  • Grill -- I prefer an outside grill, but a inside grill pan or even a heavy saute pan will work just fine. Spray the pan or grill with a non stick spray and cook the burgers on the first side until you get a nice sear and golden brown, depending on how thick you make them, about 5 minutes. Flip, and make sure when you flip, the burger releases from the pan or grill easily. If you have to scrape to flip it, it isn't ready to be flipped. The second side again will take about 5 minutes, maybe a bit less. Add 2 slices of cheese per burger and melt. As the cheese melts, add the burger rolls either to a broiler or grill to lightly brown.
  • Finish -- Top the bottom bun with a thin slather of the mayonnaise, then a lettuce leaf; then the burger with melted cheese, another lettuce leaf, avocado slices and top with the second bun slathered with the mayonnaise.
  • Serve -- ENJOY! A crisp green salad goes great with this; fries of course or chips and a pickle.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 8 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170 deg/c fan and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
  • Finely chop the onion and garlic. Sweat both in a pan with oil over a medium heat with a splash of oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
  • Finely chop the fresh coriander and sun-dried tomatoes, and roughly mash the beans so they are crushed but still keep some texture. (A good way to do this is with a fork.)
  • Add these prepared ingredients together in a large bowl with the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.
  • Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion out large balls of the mix onto the prepared baking sheets. You should get around 8 regular-sized burgers. Leave a small amount of room between each burger and flatten the top and sides with a palette knife to create the right shape. (Scooping the mix into a crumpet ring, smoothing over, then gently lifting off achieves this neatly.)
  • Cook the burgers in the pre-heated oven for 15 mins then carefully flip each burger using a spatula and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. The burgers should be dry on the outside and firm to the touch.
  • Serve immediately or reheat briefly when ready, in the oven or on a BBQ.
