  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper

  • 8 Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns Udis brand
  • 1 avocado mashed
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese sliced
  • 1 Vine-ripe Tomato sliced
  • 2 Cups Romaine Lettuce

Instructions

Burgers

  • Pre-heat an electric, non-stick griddle to 375 degrees. Drain the beans and let them continue draining in a strainer as you complete the next steps. You want them as dry as possible.
  • In a food processor or blender, shred jalapeno, bell pepper and onion. Remove from motor and pour out the juices, using your hand to catch the shredded vegetables.
  • Pour shredded vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Wipe out the processor and pour in the rolled oats. Blend until oats make a course flour. Add oats to vegetable mixture.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and spices to mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, mash the mixture together until only half of the beans are left whole.
  • Use your hands to form a ball of bean mixture, just smaller than a tennis ball. Drop the ball onto the heated griddle and press into a burger. It should be about 3 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the burger about 8 minutes on one side and 5 minutes on the other. The burger should be golden brown in color and hold its shape.
  • Serve on a bun with avocado, tomato, lettuce, cheese, etc.

Oven Fries

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix together Julienned potatoes, oil and salt in a bowl.
  • Line a large cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour potatoes in an even layer onto the greased foil.
  • Bake potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once half-way through. Fries should be golden brown, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
