If you’re looking for a burger recipe with a twist give this mince recipe (opens in new tab) a try and you’ll just love it. Using kidney beans to really make the mince go further and fill you up, these burgers have a lovely smoky flavour thanks to the paprika and mix of spices used to flavour the meat.
You’ll need a couple of hours to let the meatballs firm up, but trust us when we say it’s worth the wait for this flavoursome dish. Served up on a bun with guacamole and tortilla chips, it’s a great alternative for your usual burger recipe that will have the whole family talking.
HOW TO MAKE CHIPOTLE CHILLI BEEF BURGERS
Ingredients
- 400g can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 500g beef steak mince
- 1
½
- tbsp tomato purée
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large free-range egg yolk
- 10 cornichons, very finely chopped
- large handful coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 1-2tsp dried crushed chipotle chilli, or chipotle paste
¼
- tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 1tbsp sunflower oil
Method
- Mash up the kidney beans with a fork. Put the mince, kidney beans, tomato purée, garlic, egg yolk, cornichons, coriander, chilli and paprika in a large bowl and use your hands to mix well. Divide into 6 equal portions then shape into burgers. Cover and set aside in the fridge to firm up for at least 2 hours or overnight. You need them to firm up well or they may fall apart on the grill.
- Prepare your barbecue for direct heat. Brush the burgers lightly with the oil and cook for around 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve on a bun, if you like, with guacamole and tortilla chips.
