Avocado Bean Burger

In recognition of Earth Day we want to especially celebrate one of Earth’s greatest gifts: the avocado. Our celebration will be done in the form of a new vegan recipe for all of our fellow AvoLovers!

Vegan dishes are ones that involve ingredients that minimally impact our Earth wile still majorly impacting our cravings for incredible cuisine.
