We are trying to eat more vegetarian meal, whenever possible and stick more on fish and chicken, when eating non-vegetarian. So this black bean burger is a healthy alternative to non-veg burgers. After eating this burger, I should tell to people who love to eat non-veg will never miss non-veg any more. This tasted more better than a non-veg burger. I made a open sandwich, just to taste more of the burger than the bread. I used whole grain bread from a fresh market and fell in love with it.
