Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Lemon Mayo Sauce

We like to grill.  A lot.  So I’m always looking for different grilling ideas during the summer months.  We’ve always liked a certain meatless brand’s spicy black bean burgers, so I came up with my own homemade version and a homemade mayo sauce to go with it!

With a few ingredients you can make these yummy meatless burgers!  If you’re not a fan of spicy things, you can always reduce or leave out the chopped jalapeño for a non-spicy version. Either way these are perfect for your next BBQ.  And, let’s not forget about the sauce.  You can make this in a few minutes, and use it on the burgers, or anything else you’re grilling that day.  It’s great with chicken, and even as a veggie dip!

{Note: although these are perfect on the grill, make sure you cook them on the frying pan first, then grill them so they don’t fall apart.}
