Happy Meatless Monday! Thanks for joining Tina and I for another week of great veggie eats. It’s finally starting to feel like spring around here and I have been itching to get our grill fired up. Well, truth be told, my hubs doesn’t let me near “his grill” but he cook my veggies on it. I whipped up these fab spicy, Chipotle Black Bean burgers on a whim and they were fabulous. My pictures this week really don’t do them justice so you will have to trust me . 🙂
These Black Bean Burgers were really easy to whip up at the last minute with ingredients I already had on hand. I served them with homemade sweet potato fries and salsa. I love making my own salsa and usually have it in the fridge because it’s so good on everything.

I would like to join you ladies today with the link up – I have a couple of recipes I am trying to decide on…
🙂
Oh yes we would love to have you join us anytime!
Yummy! This sounds delicious!! We did eat off the grill twice already, including yesterday! I LOVE it! This sounds like the perfect grill food 😀
I miss the grill in the winter too!
This sounds great! And just my style (easy with ingredients on hand!). Can’t wait to fire up the grill. It was warm this weekend but I think we would have blown away…
It was super windy here too on Saturday but it is feeling springy finally
Yummmmm my grill is so not open yet it snowed here all day yesterday. I need spring ASAP! Those burgers and grilled avocados are making me craze summer. I love a good black bean burger.
I know I saw it was snowing still that’s crazy!!
My grill is broke from using it all winter. Sad! But I still love making a burger on the stovetop. These look delish!
They will work just fine on the stove too! Super easy to make
This looks delicious! I don’t have a grill but would totally take advantage of having my S.O. make grilled veggies on it for me if I did. Hope you had a nice weekend!
Thanks! You can certainly pan fry them as well. They are really easy to throw together.
We had a few people on our apartments grill patio this weekend and I was jealous of them, but also not jealous because I don’t think that the grills were cleaned yet…
ha ha yea probably really dirty grills LOL
Well don’t these look amazing! Love black bean burgers, and that adobo sauce sounds like a yummy addition 🙂
I put chipotle in everything!
OMG I love black bean burgers, and this looks AMAZING!! Our grill isn’t working but I could try this on the cast iron indoor grill..
Absolutely you can make them inside! They are super easy to throw together.
Yum! What time is dinner, I’ll be there!
Anytime! That would be fun 🙂
we are lucky that we can grill year round here! You are correct black bean burgers never take a good picture but they are yummy! Happy Monday!
They don’t take a good picture but they do taste good 🙂
Anything with chipotle is good in my book! Yum!
I put them in everything 🙂
Yum! You know how I feel about anything chipotle!!!! 🙂
They are my favorite too!
Yum! I love burgers with a Southwest flair. I had one on vacay (in the airport of all places). Our grill is not yet open. I asked the Caveman about that last night as our salmon would’ve been awesome on the grill. Hopefully soon!
Ha your hubby sounds a lot like mine 🙂
I have never tried Chipotle anything… but I bet I would like it!
Oh my! I put them in everything. If you like spicy they are the way to go.
I love grilling! So nice to have grill weather back 😉 This recipe looks easy, so my style!! 🙂
Very easy and I usually have these ingredients in the house. #RockYourCore
I got a grill as a Christmas present two years ago and I have yet to use it. I can only do so on my fire escape (city living!)
Ah city living indeed! You can make them on a griddle pan and they are just as yummy!
Black beans are so delicious and nutritious they are absolutely one of my favorite foods! Love black bean burgers. YUM!
thanks! Me too. They are one of my staples. They never look good in pics
Yum Deborah!! Girl how simple is this recipe – I can’t wait to try it! I’m on a huge veggie burger kick right now – they are so versatile!!
Yep we were certainly thinking alike this week!
Grilled avocado?! Yum – definitely going to try that soon!!
oh it is the absolute best when you make it into guacamole-mmm
Ohhhhhh, those look super easy and yummy!!
Thanks they are! Hope you like them
YUM YUM! I just had something off the grill yesterday and it was heavenly.
It is so easy and yummy!
Black bean burgers are my favorite!! I cannot wait to try this out!!
Thanks! They are so easy to make hope you enjoy
I love that grilling season is finally upon us! It took Spring look enough to get here, and I hope its finally here to stay!
I hope so too!
This sounds so yummy! I am not a vegetarian, but I do not eat hamburgers. I have had black bean burgers before but never on a grill. I bet that takes away from the rubbery texture they tend to have. I have never had grilled avocado. That sound delicious. I have to start firing up the grill now that spring is here.
Ok once you grill avocado you will never go back! I love to make guacamole with it or put it on top of eggs. Yummy
YUM! These are so good, I actually had one not to long ago. It was even meatless with a black bean burger too. At first I didn’t think I would enjoy it the same as a regular one, but it was fabulous!!
They can be really good with the right seasonings.
I’m a meat burger eater but these look fabulous! I’m a huge fan of black beans.
Me too! They are even better on the grill.
Black bean burgers are my fave. That salsa looks delicious.
Both are super easy hope you enjoy!
Fish, black bean burgers and veggie burgers are my go to for grilling. WIth a side of sweet potato fries please 🙂
Your recipe sounds wonderful!
I love how yummy the sweet potatoes are on the grill-they get a nice carmelization. Yum
i love these types of burgers! spice and all. so hearty and delicious!
I love chiptotle pepper in everything!
OH MY YUM! You did it again!! Mouth watering. MUST have and make it! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thanks! It is super easy to make hope you try it!
Black bean burgers are my fav! I actually prefer veggie burgers to beef/chicken ones even though I eat meat. They’re so flavourful 😀
Pinning!
Oh thanks hope you enjoy
