What to Serve with the Chipotle Black Bean Burgers

You can serve these burgers with your typical hamburger buns and burger toppings. If you would like to keep on theme with the Chipotle flavors, you can also include avocado slices, guacamole, sour cream, or Chipotle mayo.

To take these burgers to the next level, you can top them with pickled red onions, caramelized onions, or roasted red peppers, fresh jalapeño slices, pickled jalapeños, or a hot sauce drizzle.

They also pair nicely with sweet potato fries, onion rings, and coleslaw, Mexican street corn (elote), cilantro lime rice, or a simple garden salad to keep things light.
