A good friend, Val told me about Chicken Chili Lime Burgers from Trader Joe's. I have been waiting patiently for our store to open where I live. But I could not wait any longer. So I decided to make my own. Here is the recipe.
The ingredients.
Chicken Chili Lime Burgers
1 pound lean ground chicken
1 small onion chopped fine
1/2 red bell pepper copped fine
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 cup cilantro chopped fine
1 lime juiced
2 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup smashed black beans low sodium.
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Form into 5, 3oz. patties. Fry in a nonstick skillet with a coating of nonstick spray till done.
Calories are 193 per burger Fat 2 grams 20mg sodium
I had it on a "Healthy Life" bun for 80 Calories, with 2 Tablespoons of homemade guacamole for 48 Calories and 5 Grams fat.
That is so cool because I don't have a Trader Joe's anywhere near me and I've always wondered about those burgers every time Val has mentioned them. Hope all is well with your family!
