Stuffed Jalapeño Jackfruit Burger

One of the first recipes I made back in 2020 was a Stuffed Jalapeño Cheddar Burger (vegan, of course). It was also one of the first recipe videos I did and I was mad proud of it. A lot has changed since then, as we are always improving. I remade this recipe using jackfruit as the star. I also added wild rice and lentils to help balance the texture. This burger was legit with a pretzel bun, lettuce and vegan mayo; stuffed with cheese and smothered with jalapeño sauce, jalapeño slices and fried onions. Enjoy!

Jackfruit Burger Patty

1 can young green jackfruit
1/4 cup lentils, cooked
1/2 cup wild rice, cooked
2 Tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp parsley
1 flaxseed egg (1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water)
2 Tbsp avocado oil
to taste salt & pepper
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
vegan shredded cheddar cheese

‍

Additional Ingredients

BBQ sauce
pretzel buns
vegan mayonnaise
lettuce
jalapeño sauce OR sauce of choice
sliced jalapeños
fried onions

‍

Directions

Recipe makes 3 burgers

‍

Cook lentils & wild rice. Mix together flaxseed egg. Set ingredients aside
Drain and squeeze as much water out of the jackfruit as you can. Then add the jackfruit to a pan and cook the remaining water out. This may take 5-8 minutes on medium heat. TIP: Use a cast iron pan and a cast iron press
Add jackfruit, wild rice, lentils, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, minced garlic, parsley, flaxseed egg, avocado oil, salt & pepper to a food processor. Blend until consistency resembles grounds
Add jackfruit mix to a bowl and add the panko bread crumbs. Mix together with hands. Create 6 small patties. Add 1 Tbsp of vegan shredded cheddar cheese in the center of 3 patties. Cover each with the other patty and seal the edges with your hands
Brush BBQ sauce on the entire patty. Bake at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes. Flip the patties halfway through cooking
Build your burger the way you like it, and enjoy. I like to toast the pretzel bun, then add vegan mayonnaise to both sides of the bun. Next, the lettuce, then the Jackfruit Burger patty, jalapeño sauce, jalapeños, and fried onions.
