Not sure why, but I got tired of eating goddamned broccoli every day. Go figure!
So I ordered a bunch of stuff from the States and tried to make a vegan burger.

The bread was just basic bread with a little flax seed added for texture. I forgot about it while it was sitting, and it turned out super-duper extra soft and fluffy.

The sauce is vegan mayo (super good, surprisingly) with a couple chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce they were packed in, and a little bit of Tostitos sals.
The patties were made with a can of black beans, a scoop of pea protein that I'm trying desperately to use, and a cup or two of breadcrumbs to bind it together. I added a lot of flavoring: some taco seasoning mix, sriracha, black pepper, chili powder, onion and garlic powders.

I was surprised how tasty it was. I fried the heck out of the patties to get a charred taste, and that with the chipotles gave it a nice BBQ flavor. I felt it tasted as good as some of the vegan burgers I've had in restaurants.
My only problem (and this is true of 99% of vegan hamburgers) is that the texture of the patty wasn't chewy enough. I'm going to experiment with textured proteins and see if I can come up with something that feels better. But taste-wise. . . YUM!
