What happened to the weather, please? Just a moment ago it was almost 30 degrees and when I look at the thermometer now, it hits me. Only 15 degrees, gray in gray and rain in sight. But I have the antidote, against this little low and that is called: Burger eat! Burgers go well known always and what could be better than to bite into a hearty(vegan) Pattie. I really like Mexican food because it’s so great spiced and there’s almost always a Avocado with it. The fruit just really has me wrapped around its finger, so our burger comes with a homemade guacamole on top.
Viva vegan Mexico! Tex Mex Burger Olé!
In keeping with the theme of Mexico, it must of course be spicy, with chili. My favorite chilies are Bird Eye chilies, because they are small, so they are easy to portion and they are really hot. The base of the patties are red kidney beans, red onion, ground almonds and oatmeal. Add garlic powder (or fresh garlic), smoked paprika, cumin, a little vegetable broth, Oat milk and ground flaxseed. A big issue with vegan patties is still the binding. There’s nothing worse than having a night out with friends or family and when it’s served, the Burger completely apart.
Here are my top 3 binders for vegan burger patties:
- Oatmeal = has excellent absorption and swelling properties and therefore provide excellent binding. You can buy ready-made oatmeal, but I grind it myself with my food processor. Note for intolerances: There are also gluten-free oatmeal in all well-stocked (organic) supermarkets.
- Flax meal = I discovered only recently and is made from the seeds of the flax plant. It is rich in fiber and vegetable protein. During production, the partially oiled seeds are ground and the ingredients are thus particularly well broken down. Its good swelling properties make it a wonderful fit for making burger patties.
- Black beans = provide a great solid substance and are particularly high in easily digestible protein. In addition, beans contain a lot of vitamins, including B1, B2 and B6. In addition, there is plenty of magnesium, potassium, iron and phosphorus.
Another highlight of this burger is the homemade guacamole, which is really ready in no time. One ripe acocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, chili and salt pepper. Violà.
Viva la Veggie Burger
Perfect additional side dishes include a fiery sauce, crispy corn chips, lettuce, tomatoes and fresh onion rings. That’s it! Now it can actually only go off, are you ready? Oh yes, I have not tested the Burger on the grill yet, if you do, feel free to share your experience below in the comments.

What else goes with this Burger ? Smoky coconut chips, sweet potato wedges, homemade burger patties. If you want to make a low carb version of this, then I recommend replacing the rolls with large lettuce leaves.
