Animal-free and delicious, these burgers are bound to be one of the most delicious meatless burgers around. Mexican Green Chili Veggie Burgers utilize a chickpea-based patty infused with green chilies as well as various spices and vegetables. Green chilies are available in either a mild or hot spice but the hotter the chili, the better these veggie burgers will taste. When it comes to cooking this delectable dish, the method is rather versatile. While most consumers prefer a sauteed patty for a crispy exterior, these burgers can be baked in the oven for a more firm texture. The burger is topped with cilantro, red onion, salsa and extra green chilies for an enormous kick. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Meatless Burgers:** Creating flavorful and delicious meatless burger options using innovative ingredients. - **Green Chili Infusion:** Infusing green chilies into various food products to add a spicy and unique flavor profile. - **Versatile Cooking Methods:** Developing versatile cooking methods for veggie burgers to cater to different preferences and textures. ### Who This Affects Most - **Plant-based Food Industry:** Exploring new plant-based burger options that can compete with traditional meat burgers in terms of taste and flavor. - **Spices and Seasonings Industry:** Developing innovative spice blends and seasonings that incorporate green chilies for a distinct and exciting taste. - **Food Technology Industry:** Creating cooking techniques and technologies that allow for versatile and convenient preparation of veggie burgers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Globally Inspired Plant-Based Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-of-the-world-burgers.md) - [Delectable Veggie Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delectable-veggie-burgers.md) - [Black Bean Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actual-veggies-black-bean-patty.md) - [Textural Veggie-Rich Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actual-veggies-burgers.md) - [Meatless Chorizo-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-chorizo-burger.md) - [Vegetarian Peppercorn Oil Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bingz-healthy-veggie.md) - [Crunchy Veggie Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchy-veggie-burgers.md) - [Jalapeño-Spiced Plant-Based Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-beyond-burger-jalapeo.md) - [Mexican-Style Vegan Bakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bake.md)
