- Juice of 1 orange
- Juice of 1 lime

For the burgers:

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon onion finely minced
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 lb of plant-based ground "meat" "minced" meat
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
Suggested toppings:
- avocado sliced
- red onion sliced
- cilantro
- plantain chips
Instructions
- Make the mojo sauce: In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until golden brown. Add garlic, cumin, oregano and bay leaf and cook 1 minute. Add citrus and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has reduced by half and thickens. Set aside.
- Make burger patties: In a mixing bowl, add citrus zests, garlic, onion, and seasonings to plant-based "meat." Use hands to combine thoroughly. Divide plant-based ground “meat” mixture equally into four balls. Flatten into burger patties and make an indentation in each patty with your thumb to prevent the burgers from swelling.
- Brush each patty with oil and grill to desired level of doneness. Then lightly toast the burger patties over the grill (optional).
- Assemble your burgers: Place patties in buns. Brush the burger patties and tops of each bun with mojo reduction. Top burgers with sliced avocado, sliced red onion, cilantro, and plantain chips. Enjoy!
