Ingredients
  

  • 1 10.6 oz Cauliflower Pizza Crust (I used Trader Joe's)
  • 1 Meatless Patties
  • 1 cup Mexican Blend Shredded Cheeses
  • 4 tbsp Red Salsa
  • 4 pieces Raw Red Onion rings, 2 rings per burger
  • 2 slices Pepper Jack Cheese
  • ½ cup Spinach
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Oil for frying

Jalapeno Coins

  • 1 whole Jalapeno, cut into rings
  • 1 ½ tbsp Cornstarch or All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • dash of #CONFIDENCE

Instructions
 

CAULIFLOWER BUN

  • Use the directions on your cauliflower pizza crusts of choice.
  • Add some shredded cheeses and pop them back into the oven to let the cheese melt for about 3 minutes at 400F. I did this so the cauliflower crust could bind together.

SALSA BURGER

  • Preheat your pan over medium heat.  Pour in your oil.  Place two of the thawed meatless burger patties and cook them for 4 or 5 minutes on each side.
  • When the patties are half way cooked through, place about 1 tablespoon of your desired salsa.  Flip over and repeat the same process.  Set aside until to create the burger.

JALAPENO COINS

  • Cut and deseed your jalapenos.
  • Mix cornstarch and seasonings together. Place the jalapenos rings in the bowl. Gently coat each jalapeno rings and remove the excess.
  • In a pan, heat oil over medium high heat.  Place your coated jalapeno rings once the oil is hot.  Fry the jalapenos for 2-3 minutes on each side or when its golden and crispy.  Drain over a paper towel and set aside when you’re ready to build the cheese burger.

BUILD THE SALSA CHEESE BURGER

  • Grab 2 cooked cauliflower buns. Add a handful of spinachs and place the salsa burger on top. Next add the jalapeno coins then one slice of pepper jack cheese, 2 red onion rings, cilantros, and more salsa. Repeat the same process for the other cheese burger. Garnish with fresh cilantro and you're ready to serve!
