Welcome to my first blog post ever, brought to you from our new house! This has been a very exciting evening for us. We got our washer and dryer hooked up, the Internet, and I guess my blog post counts huh?
We actually had these burgers for dinner on Monday night with some baked french fries. I was surprised how good these were. The only thing that I would change would be is to add some more spice to the burgers. My fiancee doesn’t like Cilantro, so I only added it to three of the burgers. I didn’t think the Cilantro added much flavor. This was a very cheap meal to make too and I stocked up on some black beans cause they were on sale.

Cool idea of using Pitas instead of buns! Probably much healthier.
No pitas here, just an Arnold’s sandwich thin.
I’ve been meaning to try those!
They’re ok. I’d add a lot of seasoning to them next time.
