Sweet potatoes - (If prepping right before cooking, get grill / oven heating before continuing with prep.) Slice into fries. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

-
Make burger patties - Mix together beef, aminos, salt, pepper, chipotles, and cilantro (portion for burgers). Form into 1” / 2.5 cm thick patties and make a depression in the center with your thumb (this will help the patties to retain an even thickness as they cook). (Can be done 1 day ahead)

I was a little surprised to see no binding in the burger recipe and thought about adding an egg, but I checked the comments and it didn't seem like people had issues with it so I made it as is, and sure enough 3 of my 4 burgers were crumbly. Very delicious, but we had to glue them together with the guac.

Veggie burger was alright, but too big by far. I could have made 8 patties rather than 4! Next time I'll leave out the chipotle for my kids.
0 HelpfulFirst time making black bean patties and they did not disappoint. We'll definitely do this one again.
0 HelpfulThis was solid but nothing special. I’ll probably look for something juicier or with more flavor next time.
0 HelpfulWe added a little jalapeno to the guacamole, made the burgers with ground Turkey, and ate the burgers with sriracha. It was amazing!
