Ingredients

important part of eating meatless is incorporating a variety of grains,
These have corn and black beans in them
which adds to the southwest flair, I do wonder if maybe a few tablespoons of
cooked rice mixed in may make them even better. As you know, I do some of my
thinking about recipes as I write these posts :). I really do like the avocado
topping that is served with these sliders. It's basically a guacamole with
yogurt added, and I am okay with that because it has such a nice, creamy texture
and bright cilantro flavor that complements the patties. As always, if you have
any questions please feel free to comment or e-mail me. Happy Earth Day
everyone! Don't forget your reusable bags if you go shopping!
