Chickpea Burgers

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Add chickpeas, jackfruit, chia seeds, chickpea flour, and chicken bouillon seasoning to food processor and pulse seven times, for about one second per pulse. Alternately, add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl and use a masher to break down the chickpeas until well combined.
  • Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to separate the mixture into four even portions. Lightly dampen your hands with water and roll each section into a ball then flatten until about 1/2 inch thick. Spray a baking sheet with an even layer of cooking spray. Place patties on sheet evenly apart and bake for 15 minutes, flip and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until both sides are a deep golden brown.

Quesadilla Burgers

  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat. Place flour tortillas in the pan 2 at a time. Top each tortilla with a generous tablespoon of vegan shredded cheese. Cover with a lid for about 5 minuted until cheese begins to melt. Place a burger patty on one of the tortillas and use the remaining tortilla to top the burger. Remove from skillet and place on cutting board to slice into halves or quarters and serve with salsa, guacamole, or vegan sour cream of your choice.
