Black Bean Burger Toston Slider

Black Bean Burger & Toston Slider

Mini burgers on tostones (green plantain) buns have been a popular thing around here lately (reference: http://pinchofactory.com/toston-burger-cooked-live-on-the-today-show-on-march-25/). I decided to reproduce, but I admit  – it’s not that easy to pull off. It probably will take a couple of iterations before my tostones come out crispy enough. This is a vegetarian black bean and  mushroom mini burger, topped with crema (cream cheese and sour cream) with some chimichurri sauce. Granted this is hard to eat without getting messy, but it is a sound alternative to meat/bread. Of course, there is the omni-present guacamole as the base of the slider.

By the way – this is how you make tostones: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/16768/puerto-rican-tostones-fried-plantains/
