MEXICAN CHICKEN PATTIES WITH AVOCADO SOUR CREAM SPREAD

Steps:

• Combine ground chicken, green onions, egg whites, cilantro, jalapenos, 1 1/2 tablespoons sour cream, chipotle pepper, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Mix until sticky and difficult to handle.
• Shape ground chicken mixture into patties. Combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat patties lightly with seasoned bread crumbs.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Mash avocado and 1/2 cup sour cream together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread over chicken patties.

SOUTHWEST QUINOA PATTIES WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a food processor add 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa and ingredients eggs through salt. Combine for 15 seconds or well incorporated.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the quinoa-bean mixture along with the remaining 1 cup of cooked quinoa and shredded cheese. Stir to combine and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• While quinoa mixture is chilling, prepare avocado sauce. In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients avocado through water, starting with 1/3 cup water and add 1 Tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached. I added about 1/2 cup for a slightly thick sauce that is spreadable, add more or less to your preference. Set aside.
• In a large skillet*, heat 1/2 tbsp oil or butter over medium heat (oil is divided since you will be cooking in 2 batches). Meanwhile, form 12 patties about a 1/2 in thick (I used a 1/4 measuring cup to divide mixture up evenly, then slightly flatten). Cook for about 6-9 minutes on each side or until browned and a crust is formed. Using a spatula, carefully flip over and cook an additional 6-9 minutes or until browned. Heat remaining 1/2 Tbsp oil or butter in pan and cook remaining patties for about 6-9 minutes on each side or until golden crust is formed.
• Serve with avocado sauce and enjoy!
