I know…what is that? It is what I call a Black Bean Burger Salad. Lately I have gotten sick of eating my usual dinners and have been trying to figure out some new things. Being a single married lady 5 days a week can lead to some interesting dinners…sometimes they turn out tasty…sometimes they turn out horrendous…and sometimes like this they turn out awesome! A few weeks ago my kitchen was pretty bare and I was starving for dinner. I had Spicy Black Bean Burgers in the freezer…but I didn’t have any buns. And to be honest, I haven’t had any bread in the house for a while since I am trying to diet…and cupcakes carbs are definitely one of my enemies! And after a little fumbling around for what I would eat…I put this together. It is almost a “smothered” chicken style…but with a few twists. Ever since that day, I have been eating this for dinner a few nights a week. It’s fast, it’s delicious, it’s easy to make for just one person and it’s completely ass friendly!
Black Bean Burger Salad
Yield: 2 Servings
Recipe Notes: Yes I know some people are not going to be too thrilled that this recipe uses a frozen burger. But I really do LOVE the 120 calorie Spicy Black Bean Burger from Morning Star. And I love it even more because it is so easy to make in this! However, if you would like to make your own, I do have a recipe for Spicy Black Bean Burgers.
Ingredients:
2 Spicy Black Bean Burgers
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (I recommend Sweet Baby Rays original)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 medium roma tomato, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
Salt and Pepper to tasteDirections:
Cook burgers according to directions on box. I usually cook mine in a skillet, but you can also cook them in the oven or even the microwave. While the burger is still very hot, top each burger with 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce and cheese, allow to melt. Then split the remaining toppings between the two. Finish with a little salt and pepper and serve immediately.

I love that salsa-type combination of toppings! I bet any leftover topping would be great with tortilla chips, too. Thanks for sharing this, Jessica!

ohhh my goodness this sounds absolutely fabulous, actually. My Hubs would never touch the balck bean burgers (frozen OR fresh) so I’m thinking this would make a great lunch option for me, me, me! Thanks for sharing!

This looks like my kind of dinner for sure! Thanks for sharing which brand of black bean burgers you use. I’ve had such trouble finding a good one. And when I make them from scratch they fall apart in the pan. Black bean hash? Not as good as burger

Looks delicious and I happen to have every single ingredient you listed in my fridge already but wouldn’t of thought to use it all with the Black Bean Burger patties I have in the freezer. Perfect, now I know what we’re having for dinner Friday night!
