“Are you bringing your jackfruit burgers?” You’ll hear this on repeat after you show up to your next potluck with these tasty numbers. Combining the meaty texture of jackfruit with dense black beans, frozen sweet corn, paprika, cumin, and a homemade chipotle-lime sauce, these moist patties hold together well while delivering smoky flavor in spades. Serve each primo burger in a whole grain bun with a thin slice of tomato, a lettuce leaf, and a dollop of chipotle-lime sauce. This recipe makes more sauce than you need; save the leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week. It’s fantastic in sandwiches or wraps, drizzled over roasted potatoes, salads, and grain bowls, or as a dip for raw veggies.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To make chipotle-lime sauce, in a medium bowl combine cashews and enough boiling water to cover. Cover and let stand 15 minutes; drain. In a blender or small food processor combine drained cashews, ¼ teaspoon of the sea salt, ⅓ cup water, and the next seven ingredients (through garlic). Cover and blend until very smooth, scraping sides of bowl as needed.
- Add beans and 2 tablespoons of the chipotle-lime sauce to a clean food processor; process until very smooth. Add jackfruit and pulse until jackfruit is chopped and incorporated. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add ½ cup of the panko, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, and the next five ingredients (through black pepper). Mix well.
- Shape mixture into four patties, about ¾ inch thick. Coat patties in remaining panko, pressing panko gently onto the patties so it sticks. Place patties on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve burgers in buns with lettuce, tomato slices, and chipotle-lime sauce. Store leftover chipotle-lime sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
