Ingredients
- 1 15.5 oz can black beans low sodium
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1/2 onion small
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder if no chipotle chili powder, use 2 tsp chili powder, and 1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne, depending on spice preference
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg beaten
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- Place at least half of the black beans (rinsed and dried thoroughly with a paper towel) in a bowl and mash well with a fork. Leave up to half of the remaining beans intact if you desire a little more texture.
- Put the garlic and onion into a food processor until well chopped. Wrap the garlic and onion mixture in paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture. Remove as much water as possible or the burgers won't stick together.
- Add the drained garlic and onion mixture to the bowl with the black beans. Stir in the chili powder, chipotle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add beaten egg to the bowl and combine. Stir in bread crumbs. Form mixture into 4 patties.
- To grill, place burgers on a well-greased grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Or bake patties at 375° F on a lightly oiled baking sheet, for 10 minutes on each side. Or cook on the stovetop in an oiled grill pan, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.
