What a great idea! I loved these - they really did satisfy the need for both burritos and burgers. I used some chopped jalapenos instead of mild chiles. I might even add some black olives to the refried bean mixture sometime. Thanks for posting!

These were very good. I had to omit the onions do to my husbands alergies, but it did not affect the taste as I put onion in the one I had. I had a problem in that they were too moist. I am wondering if the egg should be ommitted, or perhaps the can of chilies should be drained. This was however a great recipe. I had one burger left that I am going to use on nachos Sunday. I bet it will be awesome. Leanne
