Yield: 1 burger
Converting a traditional burger to plant-based form requires replacing the patty and using non-dairy cheese and mayo. It's very easy, considering the ready access to plant-based options these days. The point of this exercise is to slather the burger with sufficient flavors and fixings to entertain your taste buds while you maintain your food comfort zone. If you do this well, you'll find that the choice of patty makes less difference as time goes on and your taste buds adjust. On the other hand, there are some very realistic unmeat patties available to get you started.
