Nacho Bean Burger Supreme

You gotta love a bean burger that takes very little prep, is packed with big nacho flavours, and won’t fall apart on the grill. Make patties up to 2 days ahead, and store them in the fridge in an airtight container till it’s grill time. Switch out buns for pitas to make it vegan.
