Tex-Mex Burgers with Cranberry Salsa

by Holly Rudin-Braschi

 

Cooked burgers can be frozen for up to 3 months.

 

 

 

Serves: 4

When you taste these zippy burgers, it's hard to

believe that they're made with soy 'meat'! For

south-of-the-border flavor, GimmeLean! is mixed with

ground low-fat tortilla chips, then moistened and

seasoned with salsa, cilantro and a variety of other

goodies. Garnish with sweet-hot Cranberry Salsa, a

dollop of low-fat sour cream and a slice or two of

avocado and these burgers are delicious enough to

serve bunless.
