Tips
Make vegan burgers by swapping egg with 1 tbsp ground chia or flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp water. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before adding to the recipe.
Chickpeas are a great source of protein. Chickpea flour is commonly found in most grocery stores and is also known as chana flour, garbanzo bean flour, and besan. It is a great, gluten-free option.
Make a “Jalapeño Popper” topper. In a bowl, mix 1⁄2 cup light cream cheese and 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese; spread over hot burgers!
