Ingredients
Hamburger bun (light, if available)
1 small (Use light if available.)
Vegan burger (Boca Original Vegan Meatless Burger)
1 (Remove packaging before microwaving.)
Fat-free cheddar cheese
1 slice (Use as topping.)
Pineapple ring
1 (Packed in juice and grilled.)
Tomato
1 slice (Fresh, for topping.)

1 leaf (Fresh, for topping.)
Teriyaki marinade
1 tablespoon (Use a thick kind with about 20-25 calories per tbsp.)
Fat-free mayonnaise
1 teaspoon (For spreading on the bun.)
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a pan over medium-high heat and spraying with nonstick spray. If available, a grill pan will give your burger a delightful char and impressive grill marks.
2
Carefully place the pineapple ring in the hot pan and grill for about 3 minutes on each side, or until it develops a slightly charred, caramelized appearance. Once done, set aside to cool.
3
Next, cut a slit in the vegan burger packaging and place it, slit-side up, in the microwave. Heat the burger for 1 minute. For lower wattage microwaves, add an extra 15 seconds if needed.
4
Once heated, remove the burger patty from its packaging and place it on a microwave-safe plate. Drizzle half of the teriyaki marinade over the top, spreading it evenly. Flip the patty over to coat the other side, then lay the slice of fat-free cheddar on top. Microwave again for 30 additional seconds to melt the cheese.
5
Assemble your burger by placing the burger patty on the bottom half of the bun. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce atop the patty, then layer on the grilled pineapple ring, fresh tomato slice, and lettuce.
6
Spread the fat-free mayonnaise on the top half of the bun and place it on top to complete your creation. Enjoy every bite of your Tropical Teriyaki Burger Delight!
