- 4 oz bell peppers and onions chopped
- 1/2 of a jalapeño pepper seeds discarded (optional)
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 garlic cloves
- A dash of salt and pepper
Quick & Easy Guac-For-One
- 2 oz avocado
- 1/2 of a lime juiced (or more to taste)
- 1 spoonful of your favorite salsa
- Half of a clove of garlic minced
- A big pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or more to taste
Mango & Pineapple Salsa
- 6 oz mango and/or pineapple diced
- 4 oz red peppers and red onion for mango salsa, diced
- 1/2 of a jalapeño pepper seeds discarded (optional)
- 1/2 of a lime juiced
- Pinch of salt
- Handful of chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the cashews until they are a coarse nut meal.
- Add the coarsely chopped onion, garlic, and red pepper and pulse again.
- Add the drained beans and spices and process until the mixture is combined, but still fairly chunky.
- Form into desired sized patties and fry them in a little oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Let them cook for a while before trying to flip them, at least 10 minutes. Alternatively, to make this meal oil free, bake them at 350°F on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 minutes or so, or until cooked through and browned to your liking.
- Serve with the mango salsa, guac, and extra cilantro.
- While the burgers are cooking, mash the guac ingredients together in a bowl with a fork.
- Toss the mango salsa ingredients together.
