- Cook the garbanzo beans, lentils, and brown rice in separate pots according to package directions. Drain each and set aside.
- In a warm saucepan over medium heat, saute/fry the onions in the extra virgin olive oil, stirring, till onions start to brown. Add in garlic and the jalapeno. Cook for 2 to 3 min.
- Place the cooked garbanzos, lentils, rice and the sauteed onion fold in a food processor and process 5 seconds to roughly puree. Add in the egg whites, lime juice, and oregano. Pulse the food processor for 15 seconds, scraping down the sides till all is well combined.
- Place the pureed fold in a bowl and mix in the bread crumbs. Add in the salt (if using), pepper, and chili flakes. Mix with a spatula or possibly wooden spoon. Form into 8 individual patties and flatten to about 3 inches in diameter and about 3/4-inch thick. Set aside on a piece of aluminum foil or possibly waxed paper.
- Heat a grill or possibly lightly spray a saute/fry pan with vegetable spray. Grill or possibly saute/fry each burger till nicely browned on both sides.
- Spread 2 tsp. Tahini Mustard (or possibly any coarse mustard) in each half pita round. Add in a slice of tomato, some sauerkraut or possibly julienned bell pepper, minced mixed lettuces, sliced cucumbers, and onion slices (whatever condiments are your favorite). Tuck in a cooked burger and place on a plate with your favorite salad alongside.
