Vegan Siracha Jalapeno Burger

 Here’s a Vegan Sriracha Jalapeño Burger recipe using Impossible Meat that’s packed with spicy, smoky, and creamy flavors!

Ingredients:

For the Burger:

1 package of Impossible Burger patties (12 oz)

4 vegan burger buns (make sure they’re dairy and egg-free)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

2-3 fresh jalapeños, sliced (seeds removed for less heat, if preferred)

Lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or iceberg)

1 large tomato, sliced

Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

Vegan cheese slices (optional, like Violife or Daiya)

For the Sriracha Mayo:

1/4 cup vegan mayo (or your favorite plant-based mayo)

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 teaspoon agave syrup or maple syrup (to balance the heat)

Pinch of garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)

Optional Garnishes:

Pickled jalapeños

Cilantro leaves

Instructions:

1. Make the Sriracha Mayo:

In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayo, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, agave syrup, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth. Taste and adjust the spice level or sweetness if needed. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Impossible Patties:

Take the Impossible Burger patties out of the package and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet or on a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. If using vegan cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.

3. Sauté the Jalapeños:

In the same pan, add a small splash of olive oil and sauté the sliced jalapeños for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. You can also grill them for an extra smoky flavor.

4. Toast the Buns:

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them in a pan or under a broiler until golden brown.

5. Assemble the Burger:

Spread a generous amount of the Sriracha mayo on the bottom and top of each bun.

Place the cooked Impossible patty on the bottom bun.

Layer with sautéed jalapeños, fresh lettuce, tomato slices, red onion (if using), and pickled jalapeños for an extra zing.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Close the burger with the top bun, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with your favorite sides like fries, chips, or a fresh salad.

This Vegan Sriracha Jalapeño Burger combines the heat of jalapeños, the creamy spiciness of Sriracha mayo, and the savory Impossible patty, making it a bold and satisfying meal for any spice lover!
