Southwest Brown Rice and Black Bean Burgers

2 cups Thrive rice, cooked

1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, drained {see recipe below}

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1/2 can green chilies

2-ish tablespoons canned Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce {PS, they’re spicy!}

1/4 cup salsa

1 egg

1/4 cup to 1/2 cup Thrive flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

slices or grated cheese {if desired}

Mix rice, beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic, onion, cilantro, chilies, chipotle peppers, salsa, and egg white in large bowl.

Mixture will be very moist.

Add flour, using only enough so that you can shape the mixture into patties. Dust the outside of the patties lightly with flour.

Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and warm.

Add patties and cook until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Top with cheese, reduce heat to low and cover with lid to melt cheese.

Serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa if desired

    I really like the way that Natalie is comfortable enough on camera to use her hands and do things that you would normally do at home in your own kitchen, it makes all of this really look doable.

    Also I really like this recipe it’s very healthy with alot of protein.

    I have a question as well could you use brown rice in the place of white rice in this recipe?

    Thanks so much for cutting me some slack Teardrop, as many others have done!. These things are tricky to do on camera, especially when you encounter problems like rice being too wet! Love the way you worded it up there, turning my sticky situation into a compliment, very generous of you!
    In response to your question, yes, you absolutely can use brown rice and I have done that before and they are excellent. The recipe, from Prudenced Pennywise, was originally created using brown rice.

    Thanks!
