Recipe type: Direct grilling (or bake in the oven)
Serves: 4 to 6
I know that this looks like a lot of ingredients, and it is. But is comes together pretty quickly and the mince will freeze well if you don't use it all. Make some extras to take to your next cookout because the carnivores will want to get on these!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup finely chopped red onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeños
2 tablespoon tequila
12 ounces soyrizo, removed from casing
3 Tablespoon canned diced green chilies
1 can less-sodium black bean, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon curry powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
⅓ cup cornmeal
½ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 to 6 "burger-sized" portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed
Vegetable oil for grilling
Extras: Grill grid
Instructions
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeno; saute until onion is translucent - about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the tequila and let it bubble for a minute to burn off the alcohol. Crumble in the soyrizo, then stir in the green chilies, black beans and spices. Saute for 5 minutes until well combined and heated though. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let cool enough that you can put your hands in it. Add the remaining ingredients and smoosh though your clean fingers and hands until well combined.
Press the mixture into the mushroom caps and make level.
Preheat grill and grid to medium-high. I used a grid, but they were pretty sturdy, so I don't think they will fall through the grates if you don't have a grid. Rub some veg oil on the grid before you start cooking. Lightly brush the tops of the burger (top being the soyrizo side), and place topside down on the grill.
Cook for 5 minutes until there is a nice crust formed on the top of the burger. Flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot on their own or build a fantastic burger!
