These tasty veggie burgers have a duo of chipotle flavor in both the burger and the sauce and are topped with a delicate mountain of greens and a buttery avocado smash.

★★★★★ “Loved the flavor on these veggie burgers! I’ve found so many veggie burgers taste the same, so it’s fun to find some that are a little different.

Thanks for a great recipe!” – Elizabeth
