Mexican Black Bean and Corn Burgers with Queso

This super delicious burger recipe calls for homemade patties with a spicy queso to top it all off. There's nothing like a juicy veggie patty with fresh crisp toppings on a buttery toasted bun, paired with fries or potato wedges. This veggie patty is delicious on its own, full of Mexican flavors. You can even opt for a healthy meal and top this patty off on a salad! Now this queso is super easy and full of spice! It serves as the perfect topping for your new favorite burger recipe. And to make this recipe even more delicious, I love adding my very own fresca sauce to even out all the flavors!

Now for the queso, I use canned Nacho Cheese as a base to build up the flavor. You can totally use your favorite nacho cheese or even attempt to start from scratch! And as for the green fresca sauce, I prefer using sour cream but you can substitute for greek yogurt, mayonnaise, or even home-made yogurt! Top this burger off with your favorite toppings and enjoy! Warning: This might become your favorite burger recipe!
