How to Make Alan S Vegetarian Vegan Bean And Rice Burger Mashup
- Soak 1 cup black beans and 1 cup pinto beans in a large pot of water overnight.
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans. Add 6 cups of fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 ½ hours, or until tender.
- Drain the beans and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- While the beans simmer, cook the rice: Combine 2 cups brown rice and 4 cups water in a separate pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs (vegan), 2 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp dried oregano, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
- Once the rice and beans are cool enough to handle, add them to the bowl with the seasonings and breadcrumbs.
- Mash the mixture using a potato masher, then use your hands to achieve your desired consistency. Add ½ cup picante sauce, or to taste, while mashing.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve immediately or portion into freezer-safe containers for later use.
