Black Bean Burger Burritooooooooo

Try saying that five times fast.

Of course I decide to make an alternative to a hamburger and end up frying it.
Its good, kinda hard to fry cuz it like falls apart but since it becomes a burrito it can be in pieces!!
Win win!!

Ps. its parve until you add cheese to it at the end


What you need: 

Like 1 Shitake mushroom
1 can of black beans
1 spoonful of chopped garlic (like 2-3 cloves)
3/4 cup of bread crumbs( I made from a hamburger bun)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon soy sauce 
salt 
pepper 
Oil for frying

Flur tortillas
cheese
sour cream
avacado
whatever other fixings you like!



What you need to do:

1) Make your breadcrumbs! Throw half a hamburger bun into a food processor  and chop it until its crumbs! (you can also use oats, or regular breadcrumbs)


2) Chop up the mushrooms and put it in the food processor. Add the beans, garlic, bread crumbs, paprika, chili powder, cumin, and soy sauce. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, and mix it for like 30 seconds. NOT so much, just so its like combined.








If it needs to be thicker, add more bread crumbs, or if it needs to be thinner add some water. Just till its like a nice puree that you can make into a burger. 


3) Stir in the parsley and let it sit for like 10 minutes. The more it sits the better it will stick together.


4) Shape the burgers into these gross looking shapes, and let em sit for another 5 minutes while the oil gets hot.



5) Heat oil on a frying pan and cook the burgers, about 5 minutes on each side. Cook each side till its crispy, but before it burns. 



6) Put the tortilla in the leftover oil, for a few seconds on each side (It'll help it not rip when you make the actual burrito)



7) Make yourself a burrito with all the fixings!! Spread sour cream, add cheese, taco sauce, avocado  lettuce, whatever. Roll it into a cute shape and dig in.
