š” A burger is a great way to navigate trigger foods and add additional high-fiber, nutrient-dense ingredients. Sensitive to fatty, greasy beef? Use ground chicken. Not sensitive to beef? Use high-fiber buns. Add tomatoes and microgreens for more fiber. You can really add and takeaway whatever your body needs here.Ā

JalapeƱo Chicken Burgers Directions
Step 1
Add all the patty ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Divide the mixture into four and roll each divided portion into balls. If these are too big for you, feel free to divide the mix even more, ensuring you have enough buns and cheese slices to accommodate.
Step 2
Add all the cilantro mayo ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Step 3
Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and once hot, add 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add the balls of patty mixture (cooking 2 at a time to ensure you don't overcrowd the pan) and flatten into a patty using your hand or the back of a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. After flipping to the second side, add a slice of dairy-free cheddar to the top of the patty. 2 minutes into cooking, add 1/2 tbsp of water to the pan and cover to cook for 2 more minutes until the cheese is melted. Repeat the process until you've cooked all the patties.
Step 4
Slather the buns with the cilantro mayo sauce and top with a patty, microgreens, tomato, and dig in. Bottoms up!
