Because eating a burger doesn’t have to be bad.

Sadly, it’s hard to find good vegetarian burgers. When you are eating out and they serve you a veggie burger that’s just a sad frozen patty…I mean… veggie burgers deserve better!

And here is the answer to your prayers.

For the guacamole:

3. Remove the stem and the outside skin of the mushrooms. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, chopped garlic and fresh rosemary.
4. Add the mushrooms, the sliced pepper (skin down) and red onion to the pan and let it grill for 5 minutes or until char grilled marks appear. Turn and let it cook on the other side.
5. Remove from the heat and slice the tomato.
6. Warm the buns on the grill. Spread the guacamole mixture on the bottom bun and layer with the mushroom, red pepper, onion, salad and tomato. Season with salt, pepper and lime juice.

Now, that’s a good and healthy veggie burger. And yes, it’s a messy one, guacamole everywhere!
