Cuban Black Bean Burger
- Details
There are many veggie burger recipes out there, but we have a fondness for this one. With protein-rich black beans and quinoa, this is a veggie burger with some substance. We added our savory Cuban Spice, zesty Voodoo and herbs to amp up the flavor even more. Top with lettuce, tomato, or any other burger fixings you love. This delicious and addictive veggie burger will become one that you will want to eat year round.

- Looking for a different exotic flavor to try? We love Chorizo Bomb or Harissa in this burger.
- Not a fan of black beans? Use garbanzo or kidney beans instead.
