In honor of the 4th of July🎉🇺🇸 I made: Vegan Black Bean Burrito Burgers🍔 with Vegan Red, White, and Blue🇺🇸 Muffins!🎆

What you need:

• Taco-seasoned black beans (or 1 can black beans)
• 1 canned black eyed peas 
• Cilantro Like Quinoa (or one cup quinoa)
• Cilantro
• Lime
• Salsa
• Lettuce (Romaine or Butter)
• Avocado
• Salsa (or chopped tomatoes, onion or green onion, and squeeze of lime.)
• Slices of mangoes, peaches or pineapples
• Your favorite hamburger buns
• Optional: Dairy-free Daiya Cheddar Shreds
• Optional: Your favorite hot sauce 

Taco seasonings:

• Cumin
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Paprika
• Chili powder
• Sea salt

How to make it:

1. If you don’t have leftover taco-seasoned black beans: drain and rinse a can of black beans.
2. Drain and rinse a can of black eyed peas.
3. In a small bowl, make a flax egg.
4. In a large bowl, add the beans and peas to it.
5. If you don’t have Cilantro Lime Quinoa, make 1 cup of quinoa.
6. Add 1/3 cup quinoa, taco seasonings, flax egg, and cilantro to the large bowl. Also squeeze half a lime into the bowl. If you didn’t make the Cilantro Lime Quinoa, add chopped onions. Mix until combined.
7. Mash the mixture with a potato masher. Mash until most of the beans and peas are smooshed, but keep some whole for interesting texture.
8. Take a handful of the mixture and form into patties. Square the edges and put a dent in the middle.
9. Grill outside on a grill, inside on a Foreman Grill (this is what I did,) or on a pan. Grill for 10-12 minutes or until both sides are browned and feel crispy.
10. Serve on lettuce or hamburger buns, with lettuce, avocado, salsa (or chopped tomatoes, onions or green onions, and squeeze of lime,) and a slice of mango, peach, or pineapple.
11. Optional: For a “cheese” burger add Dairy-free Daiya Cheddar Shreds
12. Optional: Add your favorite hot sauce and enjoy!
