BEANBURGER



Beanburger image

Don't mistake this San Antonio favorite for a vegetarian burger: The beanburger is a beef patty with refried beans, Fritos, onions and Cheez Whiz. The original, invented in the 1950s at the now-closed Sills Snack Shack, was likely inspired by refried-bean-and-guacamole-topped California burgers, but Cheez Whiz was swapped in for pricey avocados.

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup canned refried beans
1 pound ground beef
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup cheese spread (such as Cheez Whiz)
4 hamburger buns
