I actually first made these for Cinco de Mayo two weeks ago. The ladies I was feeding, however, devoured the entire dish before I had the chance to take a photo. So, on this rainy Sunday, with a hankering for Mexican food that I just can’t seem to kick, I made them again. My roommate, to say the least, was quite happy to test them out for a second time.
After a long relaxing weekend (special related shout out below), I wanted to start my Monday off right, so I challenged myself to make a dish that I had once failed at preparing properly: white bean burgers.

My roommate was nice enough to meet me after work to run some errands this week. Not so surprisingly, after a cold walk home, we were both craving warm Mexican food. Instead of shelling out money at our favorite local spot, I decided to make a big steaming bowl of improvisational layer dip. We had some Cannellini beans and extra sharp cheddar cheese at home, so we just picked up some ingredients to make some guacamole and I tossed it all into a Pyrex layer by layer and baked it in the oven.
In addition to my favorite edamame dip, I decided to do blend up a quick spicy white bean and artichoke dip for pumpkin carving night.

An old friend came over for dinner last night and he happens to be just as health conscious an eater as I am these days. I had a hankering for veggie burritos and when I mentioned my idea to him, he expressed more excitement than I could ever expect, so burritos it was!
