I love Mexican food. I also love burgers. The other night I was craving both, so I figured why not combine the two? If you’ve been following me for quite some time now, then you probably already know I have a thing for combining different dishes…I love fusion cuisine! Examples A, B, and C.
As I was saying, the other night I was craving Mexican food and burgers. It just so happens that Go Go Quinoa sent us a huge package with a bunch of gluten free goodies. Among all the delicious food they sent, there was a package of Quinoa Burger Mix that looked exceptionally yummy! I immediately became inspired to make Southwest Style burgers!
The patties for our Southwest Style Burgers are super easy to prepare! All you have to do is add water, form the patties and pan fry for a few minutes on each side. I added a few extra seasonings to give the mix that extra kick. I also added some vegan cheese into the mixture because you can’t have a burger without cheese, DUH.
