3 stars for the original recipe as it was a bit bland. After some adjustments I give it 5 stars. I ended up using chipotle panko instead of plain bread crumbs and as per other reviewers suggestions I used pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey. I nixed the bun and put the burger over lettuce with a slice of tomato on top, yum! Definitely a recipe worth trying but I suggest adding seasonings (to your liking) to give it more flavor. Will be making again for sure.

This is the first bean burger I've made that hasn't fallen apart or been a sticky mess! Made homemade guacamole with them and they were delicious!

This is one of my favorite vegetarian burger recipes to make. I don't like spicy so I omit the jalapenos but I do use Italian flavored breadcrumbs and extra green onions. Plus I use lettuce, onion, and tomato as toppers.
