| 2 cups Pinquito Beans, prepared with Pinquito Bean Seasoning | |
| 2 tablespoons olive oil | |
| 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped | |

| 1 garlic clove, finely chopped | |
| 1 large egg | |
| ½ cup all purpose flour (can be replaced with gluten free flour) | |
| 2 hamburger buns |
Tapatio hot sauce and Susie Q's Brand collaborated on a a vegetarian burger recipe with pinquito beans. They may have just created the best veggie burger recipe - full of flavor and packed with protein.
| 1. | Prepare pinquito beans according to package directions |
| 2. | When your pinquito beans are cooked, use a strainer to rinse well, then pour into a medium sized mixing bowl. |
| 3. | Smash the beans with either a mortar and pestle or quickly in a food processor along with some olive oil. Then transfer to a bowl. |
| 4. | Chop onion, garlic, pepper and add into the bowl |
| 5. | Add remaining olive oil |
| 6. | Pour in flour |
| 7. | Crack in egg |
| 8. | Optional: add salt and pepper or Susie Q's Santa Maria Style Seasoning |
| 9. | With a rubber spatula, mix everything around really well - getting the egg blended and flour mixed in. |
| 10. | Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add some olive oil. |
| 11. | When the pan is hot, scoop bean mix with your hands, forming a small ball. |
| 12. | Place it into the pan and give it a gentle press with your spatula forming it into a burger. |
| 13. | Cook on each side for 5-7 minutes. (These are a lot more dense than your beef burger and will need more time to heat through) |
| 14. | When they are cooked well and golden brown on each side take them off the heat. |
| 15. | Grab your buns and begin making your burger. |
| 16. | Serving idea: Place some roasted red peppers down on the bun first, then the burger, then your guacamole, followed by the caramelized onions. Then put the bun top on. |
| 17. | Serve them right away while they are still nice and warm. |
