Good for you. The texture is a bit soft

These turned out better than I expected. They were delicious! My hubby even liked them and he normally prefers meat. Very impressed!

I substituted 1 cup of cooked butternut squash for the zucchini and they turned out great. The salsa was very yummy and really made the recipe great

this recipe is excellent. I replaced the zucchini with 1 c corn, and made black bean burgers out of it. the burgers held together great, and had a texture similar to an actual burger. I didn't make the salsa, just put normal burger toppings on them.
