Hatch chile season only comes but once a year, so we were inspired to make a plant-based brunch this weekend after we picked up some of these flavorful peppers at our local farmers market. We spiced up some plant-based burgers with taco seasoning and topped them with everything Southwestern we could think of: guacamole, jalapeño cream cheese, chipotle aioli, grilled onions, and of course the legendary Hatch peppers, then served them up on our very own Vegan Oat Hamburger Buns. Naturally you can mix-and-match your toppings to taste, but we believe in the more the merrier. We paired these delectable burgers with a veggie-rich fermented cucumber salad from @thewellnessremodel and oh boy did our taste buds rejoice! Scroll down to watch our step-by-step video.
