Excellent recipe! I just made it tonight and was very happy with the results. I did not try the salsa but it sounds great too! The only problem I had was that the burger did not hold together at all, that is probably because I did not follow the directions perfectly. Instead of making fresh rice I used leftovers, I didn’t use any corn starch, and my veggie mixture was still pretty soggy from sauteeing them in water. So next time I might try and follow your instructions better but nonetheless an amazingly tasty burger!

I just made these. Haven’t even tasted them yet! But they were very simple to make and look delicious. The one thing I found was that I had to add some raw egg as a binder. They weren’t sticking together without it!

Hi Sala,

Just want to let you know that I made the burgers, and they’re delicious. I just used some leftover, ordinary brown basmati rice and substituted some ground cayenne and paprika, oregano, and cumin for the taco powder, but followed the recipe other than that. It’s somehow light and fluffy! Crispy on the outside–I used plenty of cornstarch.

Thanks for the warning about draining the beans! Definitely sticky even so.

Wonderful–thanks! So easy too. Had mine with slices of tomato, avocado, and corn on the cob–yum.

Tiffany, enjoy the patties! Yes, I think you could add some chopped crimini. If you want to cook the mushrooms first, do it on high heat, so that they dont realease any liquid.

Yes, the cornstarch helps a lot!

I have the final 4 patties frying up in the skillet right now. The scent is heavenly! The little pieces I’ve been nibbling on are delicious. Wondering if I could add some cremini mushrooms to it, too, without the patties falling apart?

And let me tell you, the cornstarch on the hands is IMPERATIVE to not ending up with a patty attached to your fingers.
