Veg Mexican Burger

#HFFMonsoon_special Mexican Burger is basically a vegetarian burger made using red beans (rajma), sweet potatoes and sweet corn. Some added condiments like garlic powder and smoked paprika give it a lovely flavour. In Mumbai, nowadays we get a lot of varieties of burgers. Mexican Burger too is one such available here. You can find some crispy nacho chips added in this burger, which I too chose to go alongwith, as it gives this burger an added flavour and crunch.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make Mexican Burger, first soak 1 cup of Red Beans in sufficient water overnight or for about 8-10 hours. You will get approx 2 1/4 cups beans after soaking.
