Veg Mexican Burger
#HFFMonsoon_special
Mexican Burger is basically a vegetarian burger made using red beans (rajma), sweet potatoes and sweet corn. Some added condiments like garlic powder and smoked paprika give it a lovely flavour. In Mumbai, nowadays we get a lot of varieties of burgers. Mexican Burger too is one such available here. You can find some crispy nacho chips added in this burger, which I too chose to go alongwith, as it gives this burger an added flavour and crunch.
Garlic, cumin, beans, salsa, avocados are some ingredients used in Mexican cooking on a large scale. I have used these ingredients to prepare a burger. Just that I have used some sweet potatoes in this patty, as they impart a slight sweetness to the burger patty and balance the taste of the beans. Again, as I usually do, I have added some chopped mangoes to the guac, though you may choose to add some frozen mango puree too.
Other option I would like to suggest is that if you aren’t able to get an avocado, try using a hung curd dip by adding some roasted cumin powder, onions, grated garlic, chilli flakes/powder, salt and coriander leaves, as per the measurements mentioned for the guacamole. Again some grated cabbage and carrots to can be added to this dip. In case you decide to go along with this dip, you can simply add the diced mango to the salsa!
