These no-nonsense nut burgers are great. They’re better than any I’ve had at any restaurant or made from other recipes. Serve with any type of chips, such as tortilla, blue corn, sweet potato, or veggie chips.
Ingredients
- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
- ½ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon salt-free herb seasoning blend
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 slices mild Cheddar cheese
- 1 (6 inch) pita bread round
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- 2 leaves romaine lettuce
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- ½ medium avocado – peeled, pitted and sliced
Directions
Step 1
Cook walnuts and sunflower seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mash chickpeas with a fork in a large bowl (or pulse in a food processor). Stir in toasted walnuts and sunflower seeds, onion, egg, parsley, seasoning blend, and pepper until well combined. Divide mixture in half and shape into patties.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add patties and fry until well browned and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Lay one Cheddar slice over each patty and remove from the heat.
Step 4
Heat pita round in the medium skillet over medium-low heat until warm, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the skillet and cut in half.
Step 5
Spread ranch dressing inside each pita half and line with romaine. Slide a cheesy patty into each pita, then top with tomato and avocado.
Tips
You can use any nuts or seeds you like.
