Notes
*Tip - Chipotle chili powder has a little kick to it, medium heat. You may add more to taste for added spice. Regular chili powder (1 tsp or to taste) can be substituted in place of chipotle chili powder. Another great addition to this mixture is chopped jalapenos.
These patties also freeze well after they have been cooked. Lay a piece of wax paper between patties when freezing. Then store in a freezable container.
